Former Beatles members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr joined together for an epic reunion Thursday night in London, and none other than Madonna, the Queen of Pop, was there to celebrate.

Madonna and a couple of her friends sang “A Hard Day’s Night” in the auto home after attending yesterday’s Beatles premiere in London.
Liverpool will have the world premiere of the documentary earlier on Thursday evening, following a day of celebrations as the city remembers what is undoubtedly its greatest export.
Speaking at the premiere, director Ron told BANG Showbiz: “It would have been a different story with John and George, it would have been even better fleshed out. So that’s very emotional and very special to see that again”.
“People love the Beatles”.
“For so long we were a foursome, then we split up, but we were still a foursome”, McCartney said while discussing the film. According to the director, he’s now at least semi-seriously eyeing the idea of putting together another Beatles documentary, this one focusing on the band’s history in the years following the period covered in Eight Days a Week.
In one interview, Lennon said the hysteria at their performances turned Beatles concerts into “a freak show”. The band quit touring in 1966, partly to concentrate on working in the studio and also in frustration at not being able to hear themselves play live properly on the primitive equipment they used for their gigs at the time.
“The music wasn’t being heard”, he said.

We’ve certainly been waiting for this moment to arise. “That was the foundation of everything we recorded”.
