Paul ended his very busy week in New York City by closing out the \u201cSNL 50\u201d show Sunday evening, which was broadcast live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SNL 50 celebration was not only for its longevity, but because the show was culturally significant. Nothing could have been more musically culturally significant than to end the show with the most iconic composition of our time, the \u201cGolden Slumbers\/Carry That Weight\/The End\u201d medley by The Beatles that closes out their album Abbey Road. To have Paul there to perform it live was the icing on the cake.At 82, McCartney delivered a heartfelt medley of songs from The Beatles\u2019 \u201cAbbey Road\u201d album, performing \u201cGolden Slumbers,\u201d \u201cCarry That Weight,\u201d and concluding with \u201cThe End.\u201d This performance not only showcased his enduring talent but also served as a poignant finale to the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
