McCartney Marks 80th Birthday With Springsteen, 60,000 Pals

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) โ€” How better to celebrate an 80th birthday than by singing about โ€œGlory Daysโ€ onstage with Bruce Springsteen, and being serenaded by some 60,000 well-wishers? That was Paul McCartney’s idea of a good time.

Yes, the cute Beatleโ€™ turns 80 this weekend, and he’ll likely be resting after wrapping up a short American tour Thursday night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

A Jersey rock royal, Jon Bon Jovi, stopped by to deliver a fistful of balloons and lead the audience in a verse of โ€œHappy Birthday.” McCartney offered 28 songs in a nearly three-hour nonstop set.
