He brings out more stars in Hollywood than the Oscars.
Celebrities flocked to Sir Paul McCartney’s exclusive two-night run at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles as the 83-year-old Beatles legend returned to the stage.
Taylor Swift, Sir Elton John, John Hamm, Harrison Ford, Reese Witherspoon and Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kedis were all spotted heading into the 1,200-seat arena on Saturday night.
Macca did not call out the A-listers and kept their presence private. The Post learned Sir Elton was the only star to have a sectioned off partition to the left of the stage.
Most of the LA VIP’s — including music mogul Lou Adler and famed director JJ Abrams — sat in the balcony where there were assigned seats.
Dead center of the balcony was also former Beatle Ringo Starr. The drummer ducked out of the venue early according to a fan. “I looked up towards the end of the show and he was gone,” he said.
The hype leading up to the show began on Tuesday when fans who entered a ticket lottery found out they had been selected and could purchase tickets for $1,600.
By the time Friday rolled around more tickets were offered to a select few but getting them was “A Hard Days Night.”
Life long LA Beatle fanatic Mike Sinclair, who first fell in love with the group when he bought The Yellow Submarine album, tried all afternoon online to secure the golden ticket.
“I tried for hours.” Sinclair said. After literally hundreds of attempts on the exclusive website he scored a last minute ticket for $263.
His wife however was left out, leaving him to take an Uber home after an unforgettable night.
“She was great about it”, he said. “The show was great!! Mostly it was great because it was so small. Paul really chatted a lot, told great stories,” Sinclair said.
“And baby was he amazed when the crowd sang along to “Hey Jude”, It was overwhelming, it just felt good.”
Those that didn’t have a ticket still had a chance to see the icon up and close.
Sir Paul pulled right up to The Fonda on Hollywood Boulevard at around 4pm each night. Fans screamed “I love you Paul!” and stood with sharpies and albums hoping to get a Macca autograph.
Once inside, he just took it all in, and evened laughed when he saw a fan with a sign saying “This is the 146th time I’ve seen Paul.”
“146th time? That’s a bit obsessive’” he joked.
