Watch Paul McCartney's Backstage Antics at Rock Hall Ceremony
Ringo Starr turned 75 on July 7th, and to celebrate, Paul McCartney has shared with Rolling Stone an exclusive, behind-the-scenes video from this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Cleveland, where he delivered his fellow Beatle's induction speech. In this four-minute video from before, during and after the April 18th ceremony, fans can follow McCartney from rehearsals to backstage to the ceremony-closing all-star jam and watch as the bassist hangs out with Stevie Wonder, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Joe Walsh and, of course, Ringo.
In the video, Wonder congratulates Starr on the Rock Hall honor. With McCartney standing beside them, Starr jokes with Wonder that they're considering reuniting the band and asks the "Superstition" singer if he wants to join.
Next, McCartney soundchecks the Beatles' "I Want to Be Your Man" while Armstrong poses for a photo alongside the bassist. After witnessing all the rockers onstage to soundcheck the evening's final all-star jam, it's time for the ceremony (but not before Walsh performs some hilarious antics in a backstage hallway).
