The Beatles broke up in 1970 and since then, whenever they got together it was a big deal. So naturally when rumors of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr performing together on the Grammy Awards surfaced, viewers could not wait for the show.
Ringo performed first, playing the song “Photographs,” while old Beatles pictures flashed in the background.
McCartney performed his new song “Queenie Eye” on his album “New” that came out. Ringo accompanied him on the drums so this was first time they had performed together since 2009.
“I was so excited to see them together I cried,” said Karina Rosa, 9.
The piano that Paul was playing was reminiscent of the artwork on their album “Magical Mystery Tour.” Its bright colors brought people back to the 60’s and connected his new song back to the Beatles.
McCartney also won a Grammy for best Rock song and he won another Grammy for long form music video. It is clear that he is not going to be stepping out of the spotlight any time soon.
Throughout the program there were commercials for the program that will be on CBS on Feb. 9. This show will be a tribute to the Beatles and will highlight their performance on the Ed Sullivan show 50 years ago when they won the hearts of Americans for the rest of time.
