Watch Paul McCartney singing “Give Peace a Chance” as a tribute to Vegas

Published on 10/04/2017

Paul McCartney performed a mashup of A Day in the Life from The Beatles” album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon and Yoko Ono (the Plastic Ono Band from their album Live Peace in Toronto 1969).

He played the song in his second of two sold-out Detroit concert on Monday night, but the evening was tinged with tragedy due to the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night (Oct 1). McCartney provided fans a beacon of hope: “On such a terrible day, we’re going to celebrate the joy in life,” he said.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
