'Unlike Bruce's concerts, I'm going to keep this brief,' the former Beatle began his loving mockery of the New Jersey rocker.
The former Beatles singer presented the New Jersey rocker with an Academy Fellowship at the 2024 Ivor Novello Awards in London.
McCartney then mulled over how Springsteen would have fit in with the Fab Four. He concluded, “When it comes to talent, he was definitely in the Top Five.”The “Silly Love Songs” singer switched to a more sincere mode, calling Springsteen and his wife, musician Patti Scialfa, “the best hosts” and describing cozy nights by a fire at their place in New Jersey. But the Liverpudlian couldn’t resist getting in one last jab at his pal.
“He’s a lovely boy, he’s known as being the American working man you know? But he admits, he’s never worked a day in his life,” McCartney said.The performance also took place during a rainstorm, which the “Thunder Road” singer said only made him appreciate his fans more. “We came out last night, and I was like, ‘What is this weather? Driving rain, wind roaring,’” he recalled in his acceptance speech. “But standing in front of me, in the rain, I realized: These are my people.”Realness delivered to your inbox
