Londoners and tourists alike were left speechless yesterday when Paul McCartney set up for a surprise street performance near Covent Garden.
Without security barriers or a stage, Paul appeared with nothing more than a microphone and a small keyboard. At first, passersby thought it was a lookalike — until his unmistakable voice filled the air with the opening lines of “Let It Be.”
Crowds quickly swarmed, phones raised, yet many lowered them just to experience the magic without distraction. One onlooker said:
“I couldn’t believe it. Paul McCartney, right in front of me, singing like it was the ’60s all over again.”
The mini-set included “Hey Jude” and a snippet of “Blackbird.” Between songs, Paul grinned and said:
“Music belongs to the streets too, doesn’t it?”
Within an hour, the performance had gone viral, sparking headlines around the world. For those lucky enough to witness it live, it wasn’t just a concert — it was history repeating itself, right in the heart of London.
