In an exciting announcement for music fans, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to reunite on stage for a rare performance at the VetsAid charity concert. This event will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on January 29, alongside other notable acts like The Killers and St. Vincent.
Organized by Joe Walsh of the Eagles, the concert aims to raise funds for military veterans and their families in Nevada. The pre-sale for veterans and active service members begins today at 10 AM local time, with an artist presale following on Wednesday and general ticket sales starting Friday.
This reunion marks the first time McCartney and Starr will perform together since December 2024, when they shared the stage in London during McCartney’s Got Back tour. At that event, Starr played drums on classic Beatles tracks, including “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter.” Fans are eagerly anticipating this unique opportunity to see the legendary duo perform live once again.
In related news, Forbes recently reported that Paul McCartney has reached billionaire status, with a net worth estimated at $1.4 billion. This achievement makes him the third richest musician globally, following Jay-Z and Taylor Swift. Much of McCartney’s wealth stems from his savvy business decisions, including the founding of MPL Communications, which has allowed him to maintain control over his music publishing and master recordings.
As an active musician, McCartney continues to release new music, with his latest album, “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane,” hitting the top of the UK Albums chart earlier this year. Additionally, fans can look forward to a cinematic event in 2028, featuring biopics on each of the Beatles, directed by Sam Mendes.
