About

From Paul McCartney, February 13, 2024:

[…] There was a better chance for many more to experience the majesty of Paul live two days later, when he performed at the Arena BRB Mané Garrincha stadium, taking to the stage like “an honorary citizen of the capital,” noted Correio Braziliense, still reeling from his historic club show.

One especially lucky attendee was Fabiana Nonato, 40, from Sao Paulo, who had won the chance to meet Paul at the Brasilia show after entering a competition last summer. A huge fan of Paul’s, her dream to see him in person had come true at a particularly poignant time; having suffered a miscarriage earlier this year, Fabiana was especially deserving of some happiness.

“It was such a special moment for me after such a difficult time,” she said afterwards. “It gave me some hope and joy when I needed it the most, and meeting Paul today has been the greatest day of my life. He was so nice and down to earth, and took time to chat with us and ask questions too. I just can’t believe it.”

“Living legend Paul McCartney drives fans into delirium at the Mané Garrincha.” – Correio Braziliense, November 2023

It was an awesome show, and one that some feared might not have gone ahead, as torrential rain soaked Brasilia all afternoon. Fortunately, though, it did little to dampen anyone’s spirits – including those who’d travelled from all over the country and were queuing up outside – and the show was a triumph.

“It was an atmosphere of musical celebration, established with a sequence of hits that began with ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ and lasting for approximately three hours.” – O Tempo, November 2023
