Here Comes The Sun: Beatles Fans Go Bonkers As Paul And Ringo Reunite On L.A. Stage

It was a zillion years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.

Los Angeles Beatles fans thought they died and went to heaven Saturday night when Ringo Starr joined Paul McCartney on stage to perform โ€œSgt. Pepperโ€™s Lonely Hearts Club Bandโ€ โ€” and โ€œHelter Skelter.โ€

The audience at McCartneyโ€™s massive Dodger Stadium concert screamed when he announced during the encore a โ€œsurprise for everyoneโ€ โ€” the โ€œone and only Ringo Starr!โ€

The Beatles drummer walked on stage, embraced his old bandmate and got a kiss on the top of the head, according to The Blast.

โ€œPeace and love, everybody!โ€ Ringo shouted. โ€œAll right, brother,โ€ McCartney said. โ€œI love you, man.โ€

Ringo settled in behind the drums, and they let loose ... on an appropriately psychedelic stage.

Ringo tossed his sticks into the audience when the band finished and pretended to reach for Paulโ€™s bass to chuck that in, too. โ€œItโ€™s been a thrill for me,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd I love you, man.โ€ Paul told his old pal (again): โ€œI love you, man. Peace and love, Ringo.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll see something more iconic in my entire life,โ€ tweeted one lucky fan in the audience. Another gushed on Twitter: โ€œI LOVE MY LIFE.โ€

Ringo turned 79 years old on July 7. McCartney, 77, wished a happy birthday on Instagram to the โ€œbest drummer in the world.โ€

It was the last night of McCartneyโ€™s solo American tour that started in May in New Orleans. โ€œFarewell to you guys,โ€ Paul said at the end, Variety reported. โ€œFarewell to America. Only one thing left to be said: Weโ€™ll see you next time.โ€
