NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 21: Paul McCartney leaves the "The Late Show" following the taping of the final episode after 32 years on air at the Ed Sullivan Theater on May 21, 2026 in New York City.

While waiting at a red traffic light, McCartney was spotted in the car next to the tour bus and waved, according to the BBC, which first reported the encounter on Monday. The driver and tour guide, Neil Morton, called the surprise cameo “surreal.”
To sweeten the moment, McCartney leaned out of his window and showed the passengers that he was on a Facetime call with former bandmate Ringo Starr. Understandably, “the passengers could not believe it,” said Morton.
On Instagram, Starr later posted a photo of McCartney taken by Morton during the impromptu appearance. “How about that for a Magical Mystery Tour in Liverpool? Peace and Love, Ringo,” wrote the drummer in the caption.
