Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen: a surprise duet

Imagine being at the Bruce Springsteen concert in Anfield Road, the Liverpool stadium, and to attend a surprise duet between the boss and a rock stars that is at home in Liverpool: Paul McCartney. It happened last night to the spectators of the second concert held by Springsteen on the stage of the city stadium that gave birth to the Beatles: during the encore of the show, before performing the classics “Born in the USA”, Born to Run “,” Glory Days “and” Dancing in the Dark “, the 75 -year -old Rocker of the New Jersey called the 82 -year -old Macca, who reached him. from the backstage in general disbelief. Fans have taken everything with cell phones, posting videos in real time on social networks.

Springsteen and McCartney duet together on the notes of “Can’t Buy Me Love” of the Beatles and the Rock’n’Roll “Kansas City” classic, a song made popular in 1955 by Little Richard. Here are the videos of the duet:

Before the show, Springsteen and McCartney had been pinched together with the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, an academy founded by the former Beatle in 1996. The two had already duetted in 2022 during the McCartney show at the Glastonbury Festival and then again during a stop in New Jersey of the Macca “Get Back” tour, and still at Hyde Park in London.

Last year McCartney rewarded Springsteen at the Ivor Novello Awarda in London, when the boss became the first non -English songwriter to win the prize dedicated to composers and musical authors: “Springsteen is a Dutch name did you know? It means “man in power”. So since he is in power I will do the opposite of what he does at the concerts and I do it short. I said to him: “It’s your fault. Once you played an hour, an hour and a half. With the Beatles you played half an hour.” Instead he came and now we have to play 3 hours, “said the former beatle, jokingly, on that occasion. And then: «An international artist does not come to mind that deserves this Bruce prize more, if not Bob Dylan or Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Beyoncé or Taylor Swift. I wonder how Bruce would have been in the Beatles because speaking of talent is certainly in the top 5. He is a fantastic person, he performed in Glastonbury with me even if he had promised me years earlier and then he could not have caused Covid. I thought it would no longer happen, and instead yes. He is a golden boy. He is known as a great worker but has admitted that he has never worked even one day in life, it’s true ».
