The duo played "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Helter Skelter," with 84-year-old Ringo on the drums, and then they embraced.

They shared the stage for the final time during Sir Paul's Freshen Up tour in 2019.

Ronnie Wood, the renowned musician from the Rolling Stones, also took the stage with Sir Paul to play the classic hit "Get Back" from the 1970s.

In his two-and-a-half-hour performance, Sir Paul honored his late bandmates from The Beatles, John Lennon and George Harrison.

Lennon made a cameo during the performance of "I've Got A Feeling," while Sir Paul delivered "Here Today," a song dedicated to Lennon, who was tragically killed in 1980.

Julian Lennon, who is 61 years old, recently shared that he had to have emergency surgery after being diagnosed with cancer.

Sir Paul honored George Harrison by showing photos of the guitarist on screen while performing the song "Something," which was penned by the late musician.

In the course of the song, Sir Paul strummed a ukulele that once belonged to Harrison.
