McCartney and Starr attend Beatles Cirque du Soleil show premiere in Vegas

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr attended the Las Vegas premiere of the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show, alongside Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison and George Martin.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have attended the premiere of that previously reported Beatles/Cirque De Soleil show in Las Vegas. Also in attendance were Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the widows of their late band-mates John Lennon and George Harrison. Starr commented: "It was emotional because two of us aren't there. So it really comes home when you're watching this."

Beatles' producer George Martin, who co-created the show's sound with his son Giles said: "If John [Lennon] saw the show, he'd probably say 'yeah, but it could be better'. He was never satisfied with anything that he ever did in his life. In his mind, he had a dream world which could not be realised."

Yoko Ono added: "All this time when I was working on this show in the rehearsals, I thought 'oh, John should be here,' That's the only thing that I regret, the fact that he's not here, because he would have enjoyed it so much."
