Paul McCartney, 83, walked onstage unannounced, bass in hand, to join Bruce Springsteen in a moment no one saw coming. It wasn\u2019t planned. It wasn\u2019t rehearsed. Even the band looked stunned. Just before the encore, Bruce went silent\u2026 the crowd shifted\u2026 and then history walked out under the spotlight. Two icons. One stage. One final encore that felt like the last page of a sacred book. No one cheered at first \u2014 they just stared, teary-eyed, knowing they were witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime heartbeat in rock and roll\u2019s story<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul McCartney joined Bruce Springsteen on stage in Liverpool on Saturday (June 7, 2025) for a pair of classic tracks. The performances of \u201cCan\u2019t Buy Me Love\u201d and \u201cKansas City\/Hey Hey Hey Hey,\u201d at the E Street Band\u2019s concert at Anfield, the home of Liverpool FC, kicked off the band\u2019s nine-song encore. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky tonight, we\u2019ve got a young man\u2026 he\u2019s gonna play with us tonight. I think he\u2019s got a lot of talent and I believe he\u2019s gonna be going places,\u201d joked the Boss. \u201cSo, let\u2019s bring out Sir Paul McCartney,\u201d as the crowd roared its approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-1405136276.jpg?w=1581&amp;h=1054&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"See Bruce Springsteen Bring Out Paul McCartney at Liverpool Concert\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As McCartney counted down the intro, the familiar chords of The Beatles\u2019 1964 hit, \u201cCan\u2019t Buy Me Love,\u201d began. Naturally, Sir Paul handled the lead vocals; Steve Van Zandt delivered the song\u2019s guitar solo. After the two stars hugged, McCartney led the band into a vibrant (is there any other kind?) performance of \u201cKansas City,\u201d the Leiber and Stoller chestnut that the Beatles famously covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bruce Springsteen Paul McCartney Can\u2019t Buy Me Love Kansas City Liverpool 7th June 2025\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LeKZIplE6Hw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you, Scousers,\u201d McCartney said to the crowd, using a term used for someone from Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh my God!
