Paul McCartney joins Bruce Springsteen on stage to play Beatles

Bruce Springsteen is currently touring in Europe, and last Saturday (June 7), he played his second concert in Liverpool, England, the city where the members of The Beatles were born and raised. At the end of the show, the American artist announced Paul McCartney as a special guest, and they performed The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” and a version of Little Willie Littlefield’s “Kansas City.”

Springsteen and his band closed the night with a cover of “Twist and Shout,” adding a piece of “La Bamba” to the performance.
