The iconic musician and member of the Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney, was more than happy to make a couple's dream come true by helping them get engaged on stage. It was a heartwarming moment that took place just before his sold-out show in Chile. At 82 years old, Sir Paul spotted Yamil Alamo and Leonora Pereira, a couple from Chile, dressed as a 1970s version of himself and his late wife Linda McCartney at the Monumental Stadium in Santiago. They were holding up a sign that read: "Paul: Give us a handshake and we'll get married."
Sir Paul, being the kind-hearted person that he is, decided to do something even more special for the couple. During the soundcheck on Friday, he invited Yamil and Leonora up on stage where Yamil got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend of six years. Yamil later shared his excitement, saying, "This was a very special moment for us because for many years we have tried to meet him and today is the day! I don't have words to describe the experience."
The couple, who are from the city of La Serena, had attended previous concerts of Sir Paul and had chosen the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" from his 1970 debut solo album, McCartney, as their wedding song. It was a dream come true for them to not only meet Sir Paul, but also get engaged in front of him.
Currently on his South American leg of the Got Back tour, Sir Paul will soon be heading to Brazil after his performance in Santiago. The tour kicked off in Uruguay at the beginning of October and on opening night, Sir Paul surprised fans by performing the last unfinished Beatles song, "Now and Then", for the first time. The track featured vocals from the late John Lennon, which were discovered on an old cassette tape and "extricated" with the help of artificial intelligence to create the song.
This unexpected addition to the Beatles discography has been an emotional experience for fans, as Sir Paul duets with the late Lennon, singing the lyrics, "Now and then / I miss you." The song, originally written in 1977, was incomplete and seemingly lost until Sir Paul and fellow Beatle Ringo Starr worked together to revive it, with guitar tracks from the late George Harrison, who passed away in 2001.
The first live performance of "Now and Then" was shared on social media, leaving fans in tears. One fan shared, "I was there, I cried a lot with this song," while another commented, "Can't hold back my tears. Seeing Paul singing the last Beatles song live puts the perfect bookend to my lifelong love of those four boys from Liverpool." It was a truly moving moment for those in attendance.
Sir Paul's tour will be arriving in the UK in December, marking his first UK shows since headlining Glastonbury in 2022. Fans are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see him perform live once again. Do you have a celebrity story to share? If so, the entertainment team at The Agency would love to hear from you.
