New York - McCartney’s secret gig
Print Edition
Former Beatle Paul McCartney performed a surprise mini-concert in New York’s Times Square on Thursday to the delight of throngs of workers, tourists and fans.
McCartney, 71, and his band sang tracks from his upcoming album, “New,” which is due to be released in the United States on Tuesday.
“Wow! Really excited to be playing New York Times Square at 1pm this afternoon!” McCartney tweeted about an hour before the packed mini-concert. “Come on down to Times Square. It’s all going to be happening there!” he added.
Security guards at the site said the 15-minute, lunch-time concert was kept a secret until shortly before its start.
“I loved it. It is hard not to like this band. They have been playing together for so long; they just make perfect music every time they hit a stage,” Said Hamdan, a teacher in New York, said.
Tawanna Flowers, a security guard working at the event, described the mini-concert as “awesome.”
