Paul McCartney appeared at that previously reported concert in Liverpool this weekend as part of the city's European Capital Of Culture celebrations. 36,000 fans attended the event at the Anfield stadium, and sang along with almost two hours worth of highlights from across the former Beatle's career as well as one of John Lennon's – 'Give Peace A Chance'. McCartney, who was joined on stage by Dave Grohl for a couple of songs, and was supported by The Zutons and Kaiser Chiefs told the crowd: "Thank you for coming here in the City of Culture, at the centre of the universe".
Among the c'lebs attending the event were Yoko Ono and Wayne Rooney. McCartney was introduced by comedian Peter Kay, who described him as "a local lad who's done very well for himself in the music game".
