Sir Paul McCartney, during his 'Got Back' tour, dedicated his solo track 'My Valentine' to his wife Nancy Shevell at his sold-out concert in Manchester.
Sir Paul McCartney made a touching dedication to his wife during the first of two sold-out nights at Manchester 's Co-op Live last night. The Walton-born Beatles legend, 82, has been on his 'Got Back' tour since October, playing huge international gigs. These are Sir Paul's first gigs in the UK since his Glastonbury headline set in 2022 and last night he declared “it’s good to be back” as he kicked off the UK leg of his tour.
With songs from as far back as The Quarrymen, through Beatlemania and to Wings and his solo material, Sir Paul included tributes to his late bandmates and even a festive surprise. He delighted the crowd when he greeted them with: “Alright, Manchester? We’ve been travelling round the world, man. We’ve been round South America. Here we are up North again. It’s good to be back.” As well as talking to the audience throughout his mammoth setlist, Sir Paul took a moment to speak directly to his wife Nancy Shevell who was among the crowd at the gig. Sir Paul said solo track My Valentine was written for his wife, adding: “She’s here tonight. This one’s for you babe.” The Got Back tour has been to South America, Spain and France – and, after a second night in Manchester, will head to The O2 in London on Wednesday and Thursday. The 82-year-old treated the audience to a set lasting more than two-and-a-half hours, beginning with Hard Day’s Night and ending the main set with Hey Jude which a joyous audience joined in enthusiastically with. A request from Sir Paul to the audience to demonstrate a “Beatles scream” showed he is still capable of prompting the hysteria of the 1960s. The show’s encore saw him reunite with John Lennon who appeared on the screen for I’ve Got A Feeling. Sir Paul, who turned to watch the screen behind him as Lennon appeared, told the arena: “That’s great for me because I get to sing with John again.” Earlier in the gig, he performed Here Today, written in tribute to the singer, who was killed in 198
