From Billboard, September 30, 2023:
Bono and The Edge wrapped up “Desire” – also from Rattle and Hum – with a little taste of The Beatles’ “Love Me Do” before letting the audience in on another secret. “Macca is in the house tonight,” Bono announced. “Paul McCartney is here. … Just know that we love you and we’ve stolen a lot of your songs,” he quipped. Bono also acknowledged the Fab Four’s possible early inspiration for Sphere. “Actually, I’m thinking that the Sphere may have come into existence [because of Sphere Entertainment president] Jim Dolan trying to solve the problem that The Beatles started when they played Shea Stadium [in 1965]. Nobody could hear you. You couldn’t hear yourselves. Well, the Sphere’s here – can you hear us?”
Bono referenced The Beatles twice more to wrap up the final song of the night, 2000’s “Beautiful Day,” singing a bit of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” (“We hope you have enjoyed the show”) followed by a few lines of “Blackbird” (“All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise”).
Paul McCartney, LeBron James, Rich Paul, Jeff Bezos and Martin Short were all in attendance at Adele’s Las Vegas residency on September 30, 2023.
[Paul McCartney] showed up at the theater unannounced. He was right outside our stage door and that’s where we all enter. He couldn’t get in because he hadn’t told anyone he was coming so I let him in. I was like I’ll walk you to whatever meeting you have and he said I don’t have a meeting. I’m just here to say hi. I said to who? He said nobody in particular. Just whoever is here. I was like well, it’s super early so nobody’s really here yet. He was just like I’ll walk around and say hi. We walked around and went to the stage. He was like tell everyone I said hi. I said no one’s going to believe me and he was like well, let’s take a picture ….. I emailed our company manager like Paul McCartney was here. I hope that’s cool.”
