Sir Paul McCartney, of The Beatles fame, is finally coming back to UK stages this year. He’ll be hitting London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s Co-op Live. Tickets are out right now, and you can get yours below.

Last year, the final Beatles song Now and Then was released, featuring John Lennon’s original vocals and George Harrison’s guitar.

Completed by Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr, the track has had its live debut by Macca as part of his Got Back tour.

Now the 82-year-old has shared the official footage from his performance of the song at the iconic River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires.

McCartney sang and played the piano as footage of the Beatles in their youth was displayed behind him.

Argentinian fans became visibly emotional at the sight, with many being left in tears.

Alongside Now and Then, McCartney also played hits from Hey Jude and Live and Let Die to Band on the Run. His Got Back Tour arrives in the UK this December in his first British shows since headlining Glastonbury in 2022.

The living legend will perform two concerts in Machester before heading for a couple at London’s O2 Arena.

The police were storming up the stairs. The Beatles turned the amps up to 11. London was freezing that January afternoon, the wind numbing their fingers. Downstairs, the bobbies were pounding on the door, threatening arrests. Most bands would have panicked. The Beatles? They just played louder. For 42 glorious minutes, the years of bitter infighting vanished. John and Paul locked eyes—a fleeting, secret smile that screamed, “Let’s give them hell one last time.” It wasn’t just a concert; it was a final, deafening act of rebellion against the world. When the plug was finally pulled, the silence was heavier than the noise. John leaned into the mic, smirking: “I hope we passed the audition.” But the real story isn’t the quote. It’s what happened in the seconds after the feedback died—a detail that changes the entire history of their breakup…

At the time, the confession sent shockwaves through the media and forever shifted how the world viewed The Beatles.
