Bruce Springsteen joined by Paul McCartney at Liverpool concert
The American musician was joined on stage by the 82-year-old Beatles star during the second of two shows at Anfield stadium on Saturday, with Sir Paul then providing vocals as the pair played the band's Can't Buy Me Love.
Springsteen, 75, and his E Street Band are in the UK as part of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which kicked off with three shows in Manchester last month. PA Media Sir Paul McCartney previously performed with Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury in 2022 (Danny Lawson/PA).
Footage shared on social media showed the surprised crowd cheering loudly as Sir Paul was introduced, before he then playfully pointed at Springsteen and the pair shared an embrace.
Before he left the stage after their performance, Sir Paul addressed the crowd and reportedly said: 'Thank you, Scousers.'
The two men have previously performed together on several occasions, most notably when Sir Paul delivered a headline set at Glastonbury in 2022.
Announced as a surprise all the way from the east coast of America, Springsteen joined Sir Paul, who became the festival's oldest solo headliner, as they played hits Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the Pyramid Stage.
In 2012, Sir Paul had joined Springsteen on stage at the end of the singer's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park, London, but both stars found their microphones cut off before they could address the crowds after exceeding the curfew.
Beginning his career in the 1960s, Springsteen has gone on to have 12 UK top 10 albums and four UK top 10 singles and is best known for songs such as Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run.
His Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which includes 16 dates across six European countries, will conclude in Milan, Italy, on July 3.

Legendary six-time Grammy Award-winning musician dies aged 86
Steve Charnock Published August 1, 2025 1:52pm Updated August 1, 2025 1:52pm Link is copied Comments Flaco Jiménez, the iconic American-Mexican accordionist whose music helped define and push Tejano, Tex-Mex and conjunto styles, has died aged 86. His family confirmed his death on Facebook yesterday evening, writing: 'He was surrounded by his loved ones and will be missed immensely… His legacy will live on through his music and all of his fans. The family requests privacy during this time of sadness' (Picture: Gary Miller/FilmMagic) Born Leonardo Jiménez in San Antonio, Texas, in 1939, 'Flaco' (a nickname meaning 'skinny' that both he and his father shared) was raised in an incredibly musical household. His father, Santiago Jiménez Sr., was a key figure in conjunto music - which has its roots in the Texas-Mexico border region. His grandfather Patricio was also a prominent musician. Flaco joined his dad's band by seven, first playing the bajo sexto before switching to the accordion, which would become his signature instrument (Picture: Michel Linssen/Redferns) Heavily influenced by his father and zydeco legend Clifton Chenier, Jiménez - who would go on to win six Grammys, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015 - soon made his name beyond Tejano circles. He became the go-to accordionist for musical stars across the genres, adding his distinctive sound to a wide range of recordings and albums. His solo work and collaborations made him something of an international ambassador for Mexican-American music. It was a role he warmly and enthusiastically embraced (Picture: Rick Diamond/WireImage) Doug Sahm was one of the first rock musicians to spotlight Jiménez, featuring him on a 1971 solo album of his. That break led to sessions with Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Los Lobos and David Lindley. Cooder featured Jiménez on his 1976 album Chicken Skin Music, which would lead to an appearance on Saturday Night Live later that year (Picture:for Americana Music) Flaco's solo career thrived alongside his session work. He won his first Grammy in 1986 for Ay Te Dejo en San Antonio. His accordion work was also featured on the 1988 country hit Streets of Bakersfield alongside Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens, earning him a spot on a No. 1 country single. The three of them would perform together a number of times, to the delight of their fans (Picture: Redferns) In 1989, he co-founded the Texas Tornados with Sahm, Freddy Fender and Augie Meyers. Their hit 'Soy de San Luis,' written by Flaco's father, won them a Grammy. A year earlier, he won another Grammy with the supergroup Los Super Seven. He later joined the Free Mexican Airforce with bluegrass player Peter Rowan (Picture: Frazer Harrison/WireImage) Even in the 1990s and beyond, Jiménez's appeal endured. He played on the Rolling Stones album Voodoo Lounge in 1994 and continued releasing music on his own and with others. In 2024, he received the Founder of the Sound award at the Ameripolitan Awards in Austin, a tribute to his lifelong impact (Picture:) From San Antonio to stages all around the world, Flaco Jiménez was proud to showcase the music of his culture. His name may have meant 'skinny,' but he was a giant of Mexican-American music. One who'll be missed by both those who loved him and those that loved his sound (Picture: Redferns) Next Gallery

A major Rauschenberg exhibit is coming to the Guggenheim Museum this fall
A century ago this fall, Robert Rauschenberg was born in Texas. He went on to become a Pop art pioneer and one of the most renowned American artists of this era. Now, museums and galleries across the globe are planning shows that honor the artist's expansive creativity, spirit of curiosity and commitment to change. For its part, NYC's Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side will host a major show called " Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can't Be Stopped," running from October 10, 2025–April 5, 2026. The show will feature more than a dozen historic pieces, including Rauschenberg's monumental painting "Barge," all which reflects the artist's radical legacy. The Guggenheim's show will be drawn from its own collection as well as loans from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and focuses on the artist's experiments with using photographs in drawing, painting and printmaking. Rauschenberg's radial use of media imagery and commercial printing techniques led critics to associate him with Pop artists such as Andy Warhol. Like Warhol, Rauschenberg was also enamored with contemporary culture. As he once said to an interviewer, "I want paintings to be reflections of life, and life can't be stopped." Among the highlights of the Guggenheim show is the 32-foot-long silkscreen painting "Barge," mostly created over a 24-hour period in the early 1960s. It's joined by an untitled silkscreen 1963 painting, which introduced vibrant color into his work. One of the earliest pieces in the show is a piece from 1953 called "Untitled (Red Painting)," in which the artist layered brith red paint over a collaged newspaper. Other pieces show how his transfer methods evolved over the decades. The Guggenheim and Rauschenberg have had a long relationship over the years. The museum first included him in a 1961 group show, followed just two years later by a show called by Six Painters and the Object, which was the first museum exhibition of Pop art in New York. In 1997, the Guggenheim presented the most comprehensive retrospective of his career to date—a landmark exhibition spanning its building on Fifth Avenue, the former Guggenheim SoHo and a satellite gallery on Hudson Street. "Robert Rauschenberg's centennial is not only a moment to honor his legacy but also a call to renew our commitment to the radical curiosity and spirit of collaboration that defined his life and work," Courtney J. Martin, Executive Director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation said in a press release. "The Guggenheim has been a vital partner in sustaining that legacy." While you're at the Guggenheim also check out which features an extraordinary hanging garden. It's on view through January 18, 2026.

I visited the English theme park that's launched first-ever overnight stays – with new safari lodges and glamping tents
Your kids will love the 5D Theatre with moving seats UP HIT CREEK I visited the English theme park that's launched first-ever overnight stays – with new safari lodges and glamping tents Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Cornish drizzle had set in upon arrival at our 'safari lodge' but nothing was going to dampen our spirits. After all, this wasn't just any accommodation — we had a theme park as our back garden. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 My favourite ride was Raging Rivers, water slides you bomb down Credit: Supplied 5 Fired up on the dragon coaster Credit: Supplied 5 Have fun on the merry-go-round Credit: Supplied Family favourite Camel Creek has welcomed visitors to its award-winning adventure park near Padstow since 1989, but until now, the fun always had to end at closing time. Following a £1million investment, this beloved Cornwall attraction now welcomes guests overnight with the launch of Camel Creek Camping & Glamping. And my 11-year-old daughter Lexi, husband Paul and I were among the first families to experience it. The site offers grass, hard-standing, and all-weather touring pitches plus luxurious glamping options including bell tents and safari lodges. The whole area has been beautifully landscaped: Think lots of twinkling lights, greenery and space. Our safari lodge, aptly named Sunset, overlooked West Country farmland stretching to the horizon. More importantly, it was just a two-minute walk from more than 40 thrilling rides and attractions. Despite being a sophisticated tent rather than a solid building, the lodge was surprisingly spacious — big enough to sleep nine — though smaller family safari tents sleeping up to four are also available. And it came with a private deck, en-suite bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. We were amazed by the luxury touches: Super-soft linens, quality towels and proper kitchen utensils that made it feel like a premium hotel under canvas. The seaside town of Newlyn in Cornwall has been dubbed as one of the 'coolest' places to relocate Luckily for us, Camel Creek is a fantastic day out no matter what the weather, as many of the rides and attractions are under cover. The park boasts more than 45,000sq ft of indoor play areas, ensuring families can enjoy themselves even on rainy days. Key covered attractions include the newly designed Hidden Garden indoor play and cafe, Creeky's Playhouse (an indoor soft play area), the 5D Theatre with moving seats and 3D glasses and various animal encounters housed in indoor facilities like the reptile house. The water rides are probably the best for adrenaline junkies — and those who don't mind getting wet, which Lexi didn't. As it was quiet due to the weather, she went on her favourite water ride Thunder Falls, six times in a row — drenched, yet in high spirits, by the time she got off. Luckily a hot shower was only moments away. Merlin's Magical Playground is ideal for younger children, and home to a ball pit and slides. Leopard cats Animal lovers will enjoy the meerkats, pets corner and the reptile house. And new for this year are owls and leopard cats. My favourite ride was Raging Rivers, water slides you bomb down. The climb up is a bit arduous, but it's worth the effort. Standing more than 20ft above the ground, it offers two different slide experiences — a long bumpy ride or an almost vertical-drop smooth ride that will leave your heart racing. After a few hours in the park, we headed back to our lodge to dry off then ventured out to the on-site restaurant. There is also a shop selling basic provisions if you want to cook. If it had been warm enough, we would have fired up the barbecue that came with our safari lodge set-up. Another time. The flexibility of having both indoor dining options and the ability to self-cater made our stay incredibly convenient, especially with unpredictable weather. After an action-packed day we were happy to retire to our lodge. The insulation and heating worked brilliantly, making the lodge surprisingly warm and cosy. It was hard to believe we were under canvas. Although the wind whipped up a little, we all slept well and stayed warm enough during the night. The next day, we had a couple more hours in the park. Arriving as it opened, we were delighted to be among the first on many of the rides. We loved our night of glamping at Camel Creek, even with the typical British weather doing its worst. With its mix of indoor attractions and cosy canvas accommodation, rain or shine, it's fantastic family fun. 5 The comfy family safari tent Credit: Supplied 5 The kids can have endless fun in pets corner Credit: Supplied
