Paul McCartney wraps up 2024 Got Back Tour with Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood at The O2, London

20 December 2024, 15:36

The Beatles legend was joined by his former bandmate Ringo Starr for his last performance of the year as well as The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

Paul McCartney played the second of two shows at The O2, London on Thursday (19th December), where he treated the crowds to very special guests Ringo Starr and The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood.

The surviving members of The Beatles reunited for the final stop on Macca's Got Back 2024 Tour, and treated fans to renditions of two the Fab Four's classics.

First up, Macca brought out his beloved long-lost Hofner 500/1 bass guitar, which was recovered earlier this year after being lost for five decades.

"We've been looking for it for 50 years, well, I got it back!" he told the audience. "And here to make its first stage appearance in 50 years... is my original bass! I haven't played it in 50 years."

Soon after, Macca welcomed Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood onto the stage to join him for a rendition of iconic Beatles single Get Back.

After his first encore, Macca then invited his ex-bandmate and former Beatles drummer to the stage, telling the crowds: "So, we have another surprise for you. Bringing to the stage, the mighty, the one and only, Ringo Starr!"

The legendary duo went on to perform Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) before going going straight into an electrifying version of Helter Skelter.

Starr addressed the crowds after the special performance. "I've had a great night and love you all, especially this man," he said, gesturing toward McCartney.

The onstage performance provided the climax for over two hours of music, which saw Macca play a stunning 36-song set, made up of Beatles classics, Wings hits and his own solo tracks.
