Piers Morgan has rushed to Sir Paul McCartney’s defence after some apparently complained that the singer didn’t perform enough Beatles songs during his headline set at Glastonbury. Sir Paul, 80, made history last night becoming the oldest person to headline the Somerset music festival. He certainly delivered an entertaining set, with Bruce Springsteen and Foo Fighters’ rocker Dave Grohl joining him on stage as special guests.
However, it seems there’s just no pleasing some as a few viewers felt Sir Paul didn’t perform enough songs from the Beatles’ iconic back catalogue. Well, Piers, 56, was having none of it and promptly put the critics in their place on social media. ‘Twitter’s moaning Macca “didn’t do enough Beatles hits”,’ the Uncensored host began.
He went on: ‘He played Can’t Buy Me Love, Love Me Do, I Saw Her Standing There, Lady Madonna, Blackbird, Get Back, Something, Let It Be, and Hey Jude. ‘Those songs alone are 9 of the greatest pop songs ever. Twitter.
. STFU. ’ Piers had earlier tweeted: ‘Sir Paul McCartney rocking Glastonbury, at nearly midnight, at the age of 80, playing some of the greatest songs in music history with the enthusiasm of a teenager.
Brilliant. ’ There were other complaints about Sir Paul’s set but these were out of his control, as BBC viewers were positively fuming that the livestream didn’t begin on BBC One at 9. 30pm, despite that being the start time of his performance – with the coverage beginning instead at 10.
30pm. In a statement sent to Metro. co.
