83rd birthday of Paul McCartney: Beyoncé thanks him for the song “Blackbird”

Paul McCartney (83), one of the best known and most successful musicians of this planet, may have fulfilled all of his dreams and wishes. His American colleague Beyoncé (43) now gave him an priceless birthday present: shortly before McCartneys 83. And also at her concerts in London, she honored the Beatles star, where she was wearing a special piece of clothing.

The pop star stood in a white T-shirt with the picture of two blackbirds on the chest on the stage in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. An allusion to the Beatles song “Blackbird” that she covert. The shirt is not only a tribute to the song, but also has a family connection to McCartney. It was designed by his daughter Stella (53).

In her Instagram post, which she published one day ahead of Paul McCartneys 83rd birthday, Beyoncé wrote about several pictures in the shirt: “Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, that you wrote one of the best songs ever. Every time I sing him, I feel like this. And it closes the circle when I wear the beautiful design of her daughter.” Beyoncé had given six concerts in London as part of her cowboy carter tour-most recently on June 16.

“Blackbird” is on the “White Album” (1968) of the Beatles and has a special meaning for Beyoncé, since the song was originally written as a protest song against inequality in the United States in the 1960s when the Beatles refused to appear in front of a separate audience. Beyoncés Cover of the song entitled “Blackbiird” can be found on her album “Cowboy Carter”, which was released in 2024.

After the publication, McCartney Beyoncé praised: “I think she makes a great version of it and she strengthens the message of civil rights that originally inspired me to write the song.”
