Beatles stars reunite at concert


Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr

Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr last performed together in 2002.

Former Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr performed together at a New York charity show on Saturday night.


Sir Paul headlined the concert, in aid of The David Lynch Foundation, and sang a string of Beatles and solo career hits before bringing Starr on stage.


The pair performed the Beatles song, With a Little Help from My Friends together before embracing afterwards.


Sir Paul also paid a tearful tribute to the late John Lennon before playing Here Today, a song he wrote for him.


The star also dedicated the song Blackbird to US President Barack Obama.


After Sir Paul played his set, which included video clips of Beatle footage, he introduced Starr as "Billy Shears".


A nod to Starr's pseudonym on the Beatles song Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
