Sir Paul McCartney made history on Saturday as the oldest solo artist to headline Glastonbury Festival.
The legendary musician, who celebrated his 80th birthday last week, hit the Pyramid Stage for his first performance at the festival since 2004.
McCartney reunited with his late bandmate John Lennon for a virtual duet of The Beatles’ 1970 single “I’ve Got A Feeling”, made possible with movie director Peter Jackson’s hi-tech skills. The performance heard Lennon’s vocals isolated from the rest of the band.

“That is so special for me,” McCartney said following the heartwarming duet. “I know it’s virtual. There I am singing with John again, we’re back together.”
In April, the singer-songwriter surprised fans when he initially did a virtual duet with Lennon.
Later in his set, Sir Paul welcomed Dave Grohl to the stage to perform a number of chart-topping hits together including “Band On The Run” and “I Saw Her Standing There”. The appearance marked Grohl’s first performance since his Foo Fighters bandmate Taylor Hawkins tragically died in March.
“This guy flew in specially to do this…Love you Dave thank you man we all love ya. Ladies and gentlemen one more time – Dave Grohl,” McCartney said before the singer and guitarist exited the stage. “He [Dave] said you know [I’ll] come over and I didn’t believe him but I should have, he showed up.”
“I swear, I would never miss being right here with you, right now,” Grohl replied.
