McCartney invited Starr, 84, out during the encore, where they played a pair of Beatles classics, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” and “Helter Skelter, per fan-captured footage.
While announcing the drummer, McCartney told the crowd, according to fan-captured video: “The one and only Mr. Ringo Starr!”
