McCartney also paid tribute to George Harrison, who died in 2001, with a version of “Something” that began with Paul on a ukulele George gave him and built to a full band version.

Paul McCartney got some help from New Jersey natives Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi as he marked his 80th birthday at MetLife Stadium.

“Happy birthday, Paul!” Springsteen called before toasting to “80 more years of glory days” and counting the band into his 1984 classic. McCartney led the way with patented charisma, moving between bass and keys as he led the tens of thousands in attendance on a sing-along tour of one of the most celebrated songbooks in music history. Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Springsteen!”

The pair played two songs together before authorities famously turned off the power to the stage, claiming that the concert had gone on past the local curfew. “He’s a local boy,” McCartney quipped before introducing the New Jersey native. The Grammy winner, 79, surprised fans at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Thursday, June 16, when he brought out the “Badlands” singer, 72, for a grand finale.

Late in the set, Springsteen took the mic for a performance of his '80s hit “Glory Days” and the Beatles' “I Wanna Be Your Man.”

Hard to think of a better way for Paul McCartney to celebrate his 80th birthday than by singing "Glory Days'' onstage with Bruce Springsteen.

He couldn’t have imagined that in 2022, one adult standing in line to get into MetLife being overheard asking a companion: “Where are Mom and Dad?” The fragility in his voice was evident while singing “Blackbird” on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, the final night of a brief U.S. tour. For most artists, the appearance of such local royalty would be a hard-to-top moment. He struggled for the high notes in “Here Today,” his love letter to John Lennon, who was robbed of a long life by an assassin’s bullet. “He has a youthful exuberance that is ageless,” said Bob Spitz, a Beatles biographer. Another 1960s icon, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, is scheduled to play at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City on his 80th birthday Monday.
