Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr got back to where they once belonged on Thursday night – performing together, live on stage in London. Starr made a surprise appearance at the O2 Arena on the last night of McCartney’s “Got Back” tour. Announcing his special guest, McCartney said: “The one and only Mr. Ringo Starr!” Walking onstage to rapturous applause, Starr embraced his former Beatle bandmate, before saying: “I want to tell you, I’ve had a great night tonight.” Then McCartney, 82, turned to his 84-year-old friend and said: “Shall we rock?” Much to the delight of the audience, the pair performed two of their famous tracks: “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” followed by “Helter Skelter.”
With Christmas music blaring through the speakers of the stadium’s sound system, an army of 500 elementary-age students from ten schools across Los Angeles, lined up to have Demi Lovato help them select a new winter jacket inside an open-air shop seemingly borrowed from the North Pole’s set designer.
