Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr Join Forces For Mini Beatles Reunion

Ringo Starr surprised fans when he joined Paul McCartney onstage for a mini Beatles reunion during the latter's encore at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday, the final night of his North American “Freshen Up Tour.”

“We've got a surprise for us, a surprise for you, a surprise for everyone,” McCartney teased. “Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Ringo Starr!”

In a video captured by a fan, everybody could be heard screaming and shouting as Ringo struts onstage with his signature sunglasses. The two musicians were seen warmly embracing as fans cheered on.

They played Beatles songs “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter” as well.

Starr later tossed his drum sticks toward the audience. He jokingly gestured to throw McCartney’s bass, too.

“It’s been a thrill for me, and I’ve had a lovely night, and it’s a great show, and I love you, man,” Starr said to McCartney.

“And I love you, man,” McCartney replied. “Peace and love, Ringo. Forever.”

McCartney, later in the show, was joined by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, Starr’s brother-in-law, for “The End” to conclude the celebrated “Abbey Road” medley.

Fans commented saying that the moments the artists shared onstage are fleeting and an absolute treasure.

“My lifelong first favorite band! The Beatles! The music industry truly owes almost everything to them!” One person wrote.

The Beatles remains to be one of the most influential bands of all time. The English rock band formed in 1960 in Liverpool, England with the band consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They produced songs like “Penny Lane,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Hey Jude,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Come Together.”

The Beatles went through numerous name changes before settling on “The From thBeatles.” From the Quarrymen to Johnny and the Moondogs, to the Silver Beatles, until the quite famous “The Beatles.”

“Farewell to you guys. Farewell to America. Only one thing left to be said: we’ll see you next time,” McCartney said, ending the surprise-filled night. It’s clear that the Beatles star has no plans to retire any time soon.
