SIR Paul McCartney sang with Stevie Van Zandt on-stage to complete what the Bruce Springsteen guitarist called "unfinished business".

The Beatles legend, 75, was invited by Stevie, 66, to perform I Saw Her Standing There at London's Roundhouse on Saturday.

Stevie told the sell-out 6,000 crowd: "We are going to finish this song we had started."

Following the performance, Sir Paul said: "We love you, Stevie. We love your band."

It came five years after their duet at Hard Rock Calling Festival in Hyde Park was interrupted when power to the stage was cut while they performed the Beatles hit.

Taking to Facebook later, saxophonist Ed Manion wrote: "Who says lightning doesn't strike twice in the same city. Seems everytime I come to London I get to play with the great Paul McCartney. Always a pleasure always a class act!"


The pair embraced after the performance

Stevie is touring with his band Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul to promote their latest album Soulfire.

Besides the capital, it will see them play dates in Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow and Liverpool before ending in Newcastle on November 16.

It was "unfinished business", we learn



Paul McCartney joined Steven Van Zandt at London’s Roundhouse on Saturday night [November 4] to cover The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”.

This was Van Zandt’s first European tour in 25 years for Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul.

The last time McCartney and Van Zandt performed together was during Bruce Springsteen‘s set at Hard Rock Calling in 2012, where the power was unexpectedly shut off due to the council’s curfew.

Saying he wanted to “finish some unfinished business,” Van Zandt invited McCartney onto the stage for “I Saw Her Standing There”.




Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul are also touring Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow and Liverpool, before ending in Newcastle on November 16.
