Paul McCartney’s Freshen Up tour ended with a show at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
To the delight of fans, he was joined on stage by fellow former Beatle Ringo Starr, who played drums on ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)’ and ‘Helter Skelter’ during the encore.

Although I would never go to see any rockers past their mid-50s, it’s still cool seeing these pics of Paul and Ritchie together.
is it weird that i’m twelve years old and I’m already obsessed with the Beatles after just three days of hearing about them? I think not!
Good for you, Phoenix!
