Bruce Springsteen fans were blown away when The Boss was joined on stage by Sir Paul McCartney in a surprise appearance at Anfield Stadium. The 75-year-old has realised a lifelong dream to perform in Liverpool with two shows on his Land of Hope and Dreams tour.
Performing in the city was a poignant moment for The Boss because of his deep love for The Beatles, which heavily influenced his own music career. Bruce reunited with one of his musical heroes, and close friend, yesterday when Sir Paul returned home to Liverpool.
The two visited the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA), which was co-founded by Sir Paul, for an incredibly special visit. The meeting fuelled speculation that Sir Paul could join Springsteen on stage tonight at his Anfield show.
And fans’ dreams came true tonight when Bruce introduced Sir Paul to the stage during his encore and the pair joined together in a duet of Can’t Buy Me Love.
Speaking to fans, Bruce said: “We are lucky tonight we have a young man, a local young man from Liverpool who is going to guest for us tonight. I think he’s got a lot of talent and I believe he’s going to be going places. So let’s bring out Sir Paul McCartney.”
