Paul McCartney performs emotional virtual duet with John Lennon
They performed 'I've Got A Feeling'
Last updated 30th Aug 2022
At a recent gig Paul McCartney treated fans to a fantastic performance of The Beatles' song 'I've Got A Feeling', which is featured on the band's 1970 album 'Let It Be'.
And, after two minutes of performing the song with his band, Paul surprised fans by singing along with his former bandmate, the late John Lennon. Paul continued singing on stage while the huge screen behind his showed footage of John singing 'I've Got A Feeling' at the Beatles' 1969 rooftop concert.
When the footage appeared on the screen there was a huge wave of excitement and cheers. Watch the moment below...
The performance shown on screen was the last time that the band ever performed in public together. It took place at Apple HQ in Savile Row, for Michael Lindsay-Hogg's documentary film Let It Be, which was about the band.
Paul has just started his 'Got Back' tour in Spokane Arena, Washington, USA, where he has a massive 36-song set list, featuring songs from throughout his career, such as 'Can't Buy Me Love', 'Band on the Run' and 'Carry That Weight'.
Following his US tour, Paul McCartney will be headlining Glastonbury 2022. The last time he played at the festival was in 2004, when he performed Wings and Beatles hits.
