Beautiful moment Paul McCartney helps super-fans get engaged onstage at his show --[Reported by Umva mag]

Sir Paul McCartney helped a couple get engaged on stage in a heartwarming moment ahead of a sold-out show in Chile.

Sir Paul, 82, spotted Chilean couple Yamil Alamo and Leonora Pereira dressed as 1970s versions of himself and his late wife Linda McCartney at the Monumental Stadium, Santiago.

They were holding a sign that read: ‘Paul: Give us a handshake and we’ll get married.’

The Beatles star then did one better, inviting the couple up on stage during Friday’s soundcheck where, in front of Sir Paul, Yamil got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend of six years.

 ‘This was a very special moment for us because for many years we have tried to meet him and today is the day! I don’t have words to describe the experience,’ Yamil said.

The couple, who are from the city of La Serena, have attended previous concerts of Sir Paul and said they plan to get married to Maybe I’m Amazed, a song from Sir Paul’s 1970 debut solo album McCartney.

Sir Paul is currently on the South American leg of his Got Back tour and, following his performance in Santiago, heads to Brazil.

The Got Back tour started in Uruguay at the beginning of October, with Sir Paul treating fans to the last unfinished Beatles song, Now and Then, for the first time on opening night.

The track features vocals from John Lennon that were discovered on an old cassette tape and ‘extricated’ with artificial intelligence to create the song.

This AI-aided song has proven an emotional addition to the Beatles discography as Sir Paul duets with the late Lennon, singing: ‘Now and then / I miss you.’

It was a half-written, seemingly lost song from 1977 which Sir Paul and Ringo worked together to revive, along with guitar tracks from other Beatles member George Harrison, who died in 2001.

When a video of the first live rendition was later shared on social media, it left fans admitting they were ‘crying their hearts out’.

‘I was there, I cried a lot with this song,’ eduardocuna8170 commented on YouTube.

‘Can’t hold back my tears. Seeing Paul singing the last Beatles song live puts the perfect bookend to my lifelong love of those four boys from Liverpool,’ redsvt98 shared.

‘So moving. What a delight and privilege to hear Paul McCartney sing this live in 2024,’ josephdevlin7528 added.

Sir Paul’s tour arrives in the UK in December, marking his first UK shows since headlining Glastonbury in 2022.
