Sir Paul McCartney was forced to stop in the middle of his Glastonbury Festival title to check on the well-being of a member of the public. The legendary singer made history tonight by becoming the oldest performer to headline Worthy Farm at 80.
But Paul paused his Jimmy Hendricks tribute to make sure a festival-goer was okay. A source told the Mirror: “The crowd went wild for Paul as soon as he took the stage.
“He was in the middle of his Jimmy Hendricks tribute when he stopped to check on someone in the crowd.”

As soon as the iconic musician took the stage, the musician received a huge round of applause from the crowd. “It’s so good to be here,” he told festival-goers. “We were supposed to do this three years ago.”
Paul was overcome with emotion as he was serenaded by the crowd and said, “OK, so here we are. We have old songs, we have new songs and we have middlemen.” I have a feeling we’re going to have a great time tonight!”
He then dedicated his piano version of My Valentine to his wife Nancy, who was watching his Glastonbury concert in the audience. “The next song I’ll do is the one I wrote for my wife Nancy, she’s in the audience tonight with us, this one’s for you Nanc,” he said.
Sir Paul previously performed at the Pyramid Stage in 2004. His highly anticipated performance came after Worthy Farm hosted the festival’s youngest headliner, Billie Eilish.
Ahead of his big performance on Saturday, Sir Paul rehearsed with a secret sold-out pub gig on Friday. The PS I Love You singer performed in front of 600 people at a small establishment called Cheese & Grain in Frome.
He said to the crowd, “Good evening, Frome. Why do I have a feeling we’re going to have fun? We’ve got old songs and new songs and a few in between.”
