Paul McCartney Sends Fans Into Frenzy After Recreating This Iconic Beatles Moment

Paul McCartney sent fans into a frenzy after recreating an iconic Beatles moment as he amped up the anticipation for his newest release, Egypt Station.

The album, which is set to drop on Sept. 7, was honored by McCartney with a “secret show” at Abbey Road Studios in London, where the Beatles legend premiered four new songs from the album.

Billboard reported that the show took place in Studio 2, where the Fab Four did much of their recording.

A McCartney spokesman confirmed to Billboard that the event was recorded for Spotify for broadcast at a later date. The performance reportedly included the debut of a song called “Fuh You.” A song that McCartney hinted would be about Donald Trump, per Billboard.

Other new songs from Egypt Station that were performed for the taping were “Who Cares,” “Confidante,” and “Come On to Me.”

McCartney reportedly walked to the studio, where the Beatles recorded almost all their material. Abbey Road Studios is perhaps the most important location in the group’s history. The Beatles’ EMI Records audition took place at Abbey Road’s Studio Two in June of 1962.

The musician then sent fans into a frenzy by walking across Abbey Road the same way he and his Beatles bandmates did for their famous album cover named for the iconic London street.

McCartney shared images and videos from the Abbey Road walk to his official Instagram account. Video of the moment, which took place nearly 49 years after the debut of the album Abbey Road, was posted online by McCartney’s daughter, Mary. Also in attendance was McCartney’s other daughter, designer Stella.
