JAKARTA - Videos of fan uploads on social media show how emotional Paul McCartney was after performing the song "Now and Then" on the Got Back concert tour in Manchester on December 14.

McCartney's eyes looked teary. The Beatles bassist also seemed to be hoarse as the crowd greeted him for his performance.

McCartney admits that performing the 'Now and Then' on stage is so emotional for him. In fact, after several displays as a mandatory setlist for his world tour.

"It's really great. When you introduce a new song, even though it's an old song, like 'Now and Then', the first reaction is, people aren't so sure what it is or what you're doing," Paul McCartney said, citing the Mirror, Wednesday, December 18.

"But during the concert, they got the idea. The news was spread on the internet. You know. So now the reaction is really strong," he continued.

Bagi McCartney, selain 'Now and Then' adalah lagu yang bagus, kehadiran John Lennon yang ikut menyanyi, membuatnya menjadi lebih emosional.

And for us, it's great to play because it's a great song to play. And for me, it's great because it's John's song. So it's really emotional for me," said the 82-year-old musician.

"I like it. I like it, and the audience seems to like it too," he added.

For information, 'Now and Then' was released at the end of 2023, after a recording process that began in the late 1970s with John Lennon's demo, ended with Ringo Starr and Sir Paul in the studio in 2022 to complete the song.

'Now and Then' is described as the last Beatles song. And after stunning fans around the world when it was released, the song has now received two Grammy nominations.
