Widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of all time, Sir Paul McCartney proved his legendary status is still well-earned during a dazzling appearance at a star-studded fundraiser for the Apollo Theater on Saturday night in the Hamptons.
The former Beatle arrived in high spirits, joined by his wife Nancy Shevell, for the exclusive evening filled with music, celebrity, and cause-driven celebration. The 72-year-old icon looked effortlessly stylish in tailored black trousers paired with a deep navy sweatshirt, embodying classic cool. Nancy complemented him perfectly, turning heads in sleek dark denim and a crisp white blazer, her natural beauty enhanced with just a hint of makeup.
The couple was seen enjoying the festivities from the sidelines, sitting close and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere as performers took the stage. But the night was far from over.
Later, McCartney stepped into the spotlight himself, joining forces with actor and singer Jamie Foxx for a surprise sing-along that had the crowd on its feet. Foxx, sharply dressed in a plum suit, lilac shirt, and grey bow tie, matched McCartney’s energy with charisma and flair. Together, they delivered a spontaneous and joyful moment that became a highlight of the evening.
The event, which raised an impressive $4 million for development projects at New York’s historic Apollo Theater, drew an elite crowd. Notable names in attendance included Barbra Streisand, Robert De Niro, Anjelica Huston, Pharrell Williams, Francesco Yates, James Brolin, and Jack Nicholson.
Guests were treated to powerhouse performances from Pharrell, Sting, and Jon Bon Jovi, rounding out an unforgettable night. As the event wound down, Nicholson was overheard telling Page Six, “That was one hell of a night. Christie really held his own. I told him, as he walked back to his seat, ‘Governor, you can’t let New Jersey down.’”
In a night filled with music legends, movie stars, and magnetic performances, Sir Paul McCartney reminded everyone why he remains a timeless force in music — still rocking, still relevant, and still very much in command of the stage.
