Paul McCartney Continues Iconic Tribute to George Harrison Across Global Tours

Paul McCartney, now 85, continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt tributes and enduring musical genius. He honors late bandmate George Harrison by performing "Something" at his concerts, a tradition that deeply moves fans and showcases their special friendship. McCartney's innovative approach to music contrasted with John Lennon's, with Paul favoring controlled experimentation, such as using tape loops, which influenced their creative partnership. His bass playing, especially on tracks like "Come Together" and "Something," is celebrated for its virtuosity and melodic foundation, marking some of the best moments in his extensive career. Beyond music, McCartney remains active in entertainment, featuring in the upcoming Spinal Tap sequel alongside Elton John, and humorously credits his longevity on stage both to love of performing and a joking reference to "drugs." Additionally, McCartney's use of the alias "Paul Ramon" alongside John Lennon inadvertently inspired the punk band The Ramones, highlighting his unexpected influence on rock history.
