Sir Paul McCartney saw in the New Year with an unexpected appearance on stage with The Killers.
The Las Vegas band were performing in St. Barts for Russian billionaire and Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich when the Beatle made a surprise appearance.
McCartney played one of his old band’s songs, ‘Helter Skelter’, with the four-piece, who are led by Brandon Flowers.
“So far, so good,” read the caption underneath a video of the performance posted on The Killers’ official Facebook page.
A day later, McCartney posted a New Year’s message on his website, writing: “Happy New Year’s Day. May this year be a happy and peaceful one for you and your family and everyone around the world. Love Paul.”
He had previously confirmed his first live dates of the year would be in Japan in April.
In December, McCartney led an a cappella performance of his seasonal hit ‘Wonderful Christmastime’.
The new version was the brainchild of late night US host Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, with his house band The Roots providing the entirely-vocal backing track.
