The rock star is playing the festival's Pyramid stage for nearly three hours, a week after his 80th birthday.

"My sisters made sure I ate this morning," Este told the BBC later. "I've never seen so many people in my life," she exclaimed. "It was fine. "But rest assured, it's not my first time. "Oh, man it's so good to be here. We've got some old songs for you, we've got some new song and we've got some in-betweeners...

The former Beatle's headline show on Saturday comes exactly a week after he celebrated his 80th birthday.

Eilish gave an electrifying headline performance on the Pyramid Stage on Friday to end the first day of performances at Glastonbury.

The former Beatle is the oldest solo artist to headline the festival just a week after his 80th birthday. The former Beatles star, who turned 80 last week, stopped to address the crowd after his second song when they started to sing to him. We've got some old songs for you, we've got some new songs and we've got some in-betweeners...and I got a feeling we're going to have a great time."

And from then on, the whole bit about how far it's gonna go and how many people it's going to encourage is up to the newspapers, and up to you on television. When asked if as a public figure he should admit to taking part in illegal activities, Paul said: "I don't think it'll make any difference. “I went to America just after Pepper came out, and I was thinking of stopping it. "I mean, you're spreading this now, at this moment. The plunge after it was this melancholy plunge which I was not used to. “There was a lot of symbolism in that: sniffing it through money!”

Sir Paul McCartney headlined the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. The Beatles icon paid tribute to fellow bandmember John Lennon and music icon Jimi ...

He told the crowd: "Good evening, Frome. Why am I getting a feeling we are going to have some fun? They are both the very best of the best.” "What I realise now is it was a family, a gang. Families argue and have disputes. "The only way I was given to get us out of that was to do what I did." He added: "The only way for me to save The Beatles and Apple was to sue the band. A source close to Macca said: “It seems only right that Sir Paul should acknowledge the incredible fact both are playing the same weekend. "He was in the middle of his tribute to Jimi Hendrix when he stopped to check on someone in the crowd." "I suppose when The Beatles broke up perhaps there was a misconception we all sort of hated each other,” he said to British GQ in 2020. Sir Paul was very much in his element as he talked to the crowd and began his performance. A source told the Mirror: "The crowd were going wild for Paul as soon as he stepped on stage. The musician - who briefly paused his gig to check on a festival-goer - looked dapper in a navy button-up top as he arrived on stage on Saturday night.

Paul McCartney fans have been left furious after the headliner's Glastonbury set began... with the BBC livestream beginning an hour later.

‘I love watching Glastonbury on the telly but disappointed that it’s not live @BBC, the sun set on Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds half an hour ago, and Paul McCartney is now on the Pyramid stage #Glasto,’ one person said, referencing the fact that when Paul was on the Pyramid stage, the BBC aired the already-finished Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds set instead. However, when you go to BBC iPlayer and attempt to watch his show on the Glastonbury channel, it states: ‘Watch Paul McCartney’s headline performance on the Glastonbury Channel on iPlayer and BBC One from 10.30pm’… much to many people’s annoyance. However, fans of The Beatles rocker who want to watch from home have been left disappointed, with the BBC coverage of the performance not beginning until an hour after it began.

It is the star's first public appearance since the death of Foo Fighters' drummer Taylor Hawkins.

"Texas really embarrassing me right now, y'all. The hot girls and hot boys do not support this shit. - Something - New "It was fine. "Don't you love sisters?" "But rest assured, it's not my first time. "I've never seen so many people in my life," she exclaimed. We're back together." We've got some old songs for you, we've got some new song and we've got some in-betweeners... "Oh, man it's so good to be here. "This guy flew in specially to do this," McCartney said. They were rewarded with a marathon 2 hour 50 minute set that spanned his six-decade career.

Paul McCartney pulled out a shock move during his headline set at the 2022 Glastonbury Festival by bringing out Bruce Springsteen.

The Boss had the chance to live out his dream when he played live with Paul McCartney once before, but nothing on the scale of a headline Glastonbury show. It was a moment in time which turned him away from the blue-collar route he thought he was destined for. Bruce Springsteen, a legendary figure of the music industry alongside McCartney himself, is a creative who has made the world of rock ‘n’ roll a more poetic place.

Paul smashes the 'fuh' out of the Pyramid stage, bringing out Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen and even virtual John Lennon.

Macca was preceded on the lineup by Noel Gallagher, who famously told the audience at Oasis’ seminal Knebworth Park show in 1996: “This is history.” So was this. You can’t argue with the songs, though: ‘Blackbird’, ‘Lady Madonna’ and under-appreciated randy banger ‘Fuh You’. The helter-skelter-style sense of a steady climb that’s about to lead to a dizzying rush is halted only when a dubious video of Johnny Depp accompanies ‘My Valentine’ – a song Paul wrote for his wife Nancy, released in 2011 – and cools the atmosphere somewhat. This starts with the Quarrymen’s ‘In Spite Of All The Danger’ and winds up at ‘Here Today’, the song he wrote in the wake of John Lennon’s death. We’re back together.” Bowing out after a Grohl and Spingsteen-assisted ‘Abbey Road’ medley, the 80-year-old goes over his billed time by a good 30 mins, having thrown absolutely everything he has – which is saying something for an actual Beatle – at Glastonbury 2022, sounding like a man who, frankly, knows he might not do this again. After opening with ‘Can’t Buy Me Love,’ he promises “some old songs, some new songs, some in betweeners:”, then spends the front portion of the show teasing with Wings tunes – including the Liquorice Pizza-rejuvenated ‘Let Me Roll It’ – and offering a potted history of the Beatles through song. People talk about ‘Glastonbury moments’: Macca’s joy bonanza of a set is packed with at least – at least – half a dozen of them, including the audience spontaneously singing him ‘Happy Birthday’ and later taking over the universal ‘Hey Jude’ refrain.

How do you stop this historic, 50th-anniversary show becoming "The Beatle"? Like this.

This show was not The Beatle: McCartney and his band – joyous and bombastic trombones and saxophones, hypnotically good guitarists (that’s before Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen showed up, but we’ll get to that) and a drummer who danced the sprinkler and the macarena – had a sound modern, and all their own. McCartney – who turned 80 this week – was always the obvious choice to headline Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary festival (it is his second time, after his performance in 2004). A good Pyramid Stage headline show must be momentous, never just another stop on the tour but a spectacle so unique and of such gravitas that has punters asking, “were you there?” for decades to come. At the beginning of Paul McCartney’s Pyramid Stage show, it was hard not to bear his record – “oldest ever Glastonbury headliner” – in mind.

Sir Paul McCartney was stopped in his tracks after thousands of Glastonbury Festival attendees sang 'Happy Birthday' to the former Beatle.

With this in mind, revellers are recommended to allow for “plenty of time” when planning their journey to the site so that they can enjoy the 50th-anniversary celebrations without too much of a hitch. With Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar all set to headline the famed Pyramid Stage, the fateful return is brimming with talent. After a two-year absence that feels like an eternity, the biggest music festival in the world is set to be even bigger as Glastonbury finally returns this weekend.

McCartney’s available canon is the greatest in music by such a vast degree that any couple of hours plucked from it at random would be the best gig of any particular year, as he proved on Friday night at a warm-up gig speckled with relatively obscure Beatles and Wings tunes, in nearby Frome. Tonight, after an anticipation-building megamix of Macca classics that threatens to be longer than Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, he indulges in roughly the same set, plus surprises. “I know it’s virtual,” he says, “but there I am singing with John again, we’re back together”. Then he straps on a guitar and plays “Helter Skelter”. We’re gonna need a bigger star rating system. It’s a historic privilege just to be alive at the same time as him. Like any communal dig through a crate of unlimited treasures, the show takes turns into fond reminiscence. But it has only one name that will be etched into history books centuries from now, as one half of the greatest songwriting partnership of the rock’n’roll era. The garish velvet Pepper bands roaming the site all day might be here to celebrate the retro-pop cheesiness of Glastonbury’s oldest headliner but, getting real, let’s not spare the superlatives here.

Prior to his performance of My Valentine, McCartney dedicated the tune to his wife Nancy Shevell, who was in the audience. During his performance, the music video for his 2012 track My Valentine was shown to the thousands of people in the audience. This isn’t the first time as of late that McCartney has featured the video starring Depp during his live performances.

The former Beatle became the festival's oldest solo headliner during his electrifying set on the Pyramid Stage.

To end the historic set he sang the Beatles’ song The End to a cheering crowd with Springsteen and Grohl also returning to provide guitar solos. Billie Eilish gave an electrifying headline performance on the Pyramid Stage on Friday to end the first day of performances at Glastonbury. Following the rendition, he explained that he adds that section on at the end as a tribute to the “late great Jimi Hendrix”. When he came back to the stage he was waving the Ukrainian flag while members of his band flew a rainbow Pride flag and the Union Jack. As he took to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night, the former Beatle became the festival’s oldest solo headliner, a week after he celebrated his 80th birthday. Ahead of the song Here Today, he revealed he had written it after John Lennon died, describing it as a “form of a letter” which he never got to write to his bandmate as he said when they were kids they “couldn’t express too much affection for each other” as they were “too busy trying to be hard and dead cool”.

To mark the momentous occasion, Sir Paul treated the masses in the crowd to a three hour set of his solo hits as well as beloved tracks by The Beatles and from his later group Wings.

Over on the Pyramid stage Beatles superfan and former headliner Noel Gallagher was a no-brainer choice to warm up for McCartney. His best songs, too, are etched in stone and suited the sound of tens of thousands of voices beneath the setting sun. Even if you couldn’t see them, the mass scream in the middle of Ur Mum was a moment of communal hysteria. The volcanic power ballad Happier than Ever, decked with fireworks, completed a winning set and a knockout Friday during which women called all the shots. One all-timer followed another: a romping Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, a fiery Get Back with a video by Peter Jackson. Dave Grohl became McCartney’s surprise sideman for I Saw Her Standing There and Band on the Run, and was immediately followed by Bruce Springsteen. Even before McCartney got to Let It Be and Hey Jude the whole field was levitating with delight. As the set built, the weight of history, memory and absent friends accumulated. McCartney looks a decade younger and remains in gutsy voice, a fine advertisement for decades of vegetarianism.
