Paul McCartney

In July 2005, Paul McCartney performed "Helter Skelter" at the Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park, a significant event aimed at addressing global poverty issues. Prior to this performance, McCartney had released the album "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" in September 2005. This album marked a return to a more introspective sound, showcasing McCartney’s ability to blend pop sensibilities with deeper themes. Interestingly, "Helter Skelter," originally a hard rock track from The Beatles' "The White Album," served as a powerful anthem during his Live 8 appearance, emphasizing his enduring legacy as a performer. The event itself was monumental, with an audience of around 2 billion viewers worldwide, highlighting the global reach and relevance of McCartney’s music even decades after his initial success with The Beatles.
