We were playing at Stella McCartney's fashion show and we heard rumors he and Ringo were gonna be there. And literally we went onstage and he just showed up onstage during the first song. I was just playing along head down until I looked up and was like, 'Who's this bloke onstage?' and I realized it was Paul McCartney. I was like, 'Oh my god, this is nuts.' And he just kind of started singing." The drummer says, "It was a real once in a lifetime experience, that was. it was hugely epic." See footage here.
