Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood reflect on surprise reunion with Paul McCartney

In a heartwarming display of musical camaraderie, Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood recently joined Paul McCartney on stage for a surprise reunion that left fans at London’s O2 Arena in awe. The performance marked the final show of Sir Paul’s Got Back Tour, which began in October, and saw the legendary musicians come together for a memorable night of music and nostalgia.

During the show, Sir Paul welcomed his former Beatles bandmate Ringo to the stage for a powerful rendition of Helter Skelter and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The moment was a poignant reminder of the rich musical history the pair share, having reunited several times since their days in The Beatles. Notably, their most recent reunion followed Sir Paul’s 2019 Freshen Up tour and Ringo’s 2015 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Reflecting on the surprise performance, Ringo Starr, the iconic drummer, shared his joy on social media. “I had a great time with my old mate,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “You know who, I send you a peace and love Merry Christmas Ringo.” His words perfectly captured the spirit of their reunion, which was both spontaneous and joyful.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood also took to social media to express his delight at the performance. Describing the experience as “wonderful,” Wood posted a photo from the night, writing: “Simply had a wonderful time playing Get Back with my good friends @paulmccartney and @ringostarrmusic at @theo2london last night. Hope everyone there had the best time!” The 77-year-old rock veteran’s enthusiasm was evident, as he celebrated the rare opportunity to join such legendary musicians on stage.

One of the highlights of the performance was the return of Sir Paul’s original Hofner 500/1 bass, which had been stolen in 1972. Sir Paul proudly announced to the audience that he was playing the bass for the first time in 50 years. “Thank you, London! We’ve been all over South America and Europe and here we are back home for the last shows of the 2024 Got Back tour,” the 82-year-old musician wrote on Instagram. “Making its first stage appearance in 50 years… is my original bass! I haven’t played it in 50 years and what is more, here’s a special guest, a Rolling Stone: Ronnie Wood. And another surprise for you – the mighty, the one and only, Ringo Starr!”

The final night of the Got Back Tour was a celebration not only of Sir Paul’s enduring musical legacy but also of the enduring friendships that have shaped his career. The reunion with Ringo and the appearance of Ronnie Wood highlighted the timeless bond between these rock icons, each of whom has made an indelible mark on the music world.

For the fans at the O2 Arena, the show was an unforgettable experience, with many describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness three of the biggest names in rock music come together. The performances of Helter Skelter, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Get Back were infused with the energy and passion that have always defined these legendary artists. As the night came to a close, the crowd erupted in applause, sending the Got Back tour off with a bang.

The surprise appearance of Ringo and Ronnie added a sense of spontaneity and excitement to the already electrifying performance. For Sir Paul, the tour’s finale in London was the perfect way to cap off a global journey that had spanned continents and generations of fans. It was a night filled with music, memories, and a reminder of the enduring magic of The Beatles and the friendships that continue to inspire generations of fans around the world.
