\n\tThe band\u2019s bassist made an unexpected cameo on a daily tour yesterday (July 20) when guests on the Magical Mystery bus spotted him at a set of traffic lights. After waving to fans in the serendipitous moment, they then received an added bonus when, after waving to fans, McCartney showed them that he was currently on a Facetime call with former bandmate Ringo Starr.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to the BBC<\/em>, driver and tour guide Neal Morton said \u201cit was surreal\u201d to spot the musician while on the tour of the city.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had pulled up at the traffic lights on Hope Street when who should I see \u2013 Sir Paul with Ringo on Facetime\u201d, he said. \u201cHe waved to us, and everybody took photos. The passengers could not believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMcCartney was in town ahead of a presentation to actor Stephen Graham (Adolescence, The Irishman<\/em>) with a companionship of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA); McCartney is a co-founder of the school and often attends graduation ceremonies for students.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe unofficial tour, named after their 1967 LP, is a two-hour visit to the city\u2019s locations that played a part in the band\u2019s stories, visiting their childhood homes, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, and finishing at the Cavern Club, where the group played early shows.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s the latest team-up between McCartney and Starr after the pair duetted for the first time on the former\u2019s latest album The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em>, released in May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
