Paul McCartney replies to fan Adrienne – 60 years after she declared her love for him

Paul McCartney has replied to a declaration of love from a Beatles fan named Adrienne – just 61 years after her original message.

In 1963, Adrienne was interviewed on CBS ahead of the Fab Four’s first ever visit to the US, where she excitedly proclaimed: “I love The Beatles and I’ll always love them!”

“Even when I’m 105 and an old grandmother, I’ll love ‘em. And Paul McCartney, if you are listening, Adrienne from Brooklyn loves you with all her heart!”

And now, McCartney has finally got round to reciprocating the love. “Hey Adrienne, it’s Paul,” he said in a video on Instagram that opens with the original clip of Adrienne.

“Listen, I saw your video, I’m in Brooklyn now, I’m in New York, I finally got here. We got an exhibition a photo exhibition. Come along and see it.”

The post also included a caption, reading: “And Adrienne from Brooklyn in you are listening, Paul McCartney from Liverpool loves you too.”

The exhibition in question is ‘Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm’, which is being held at the Brooklyn Museum until August 18.

Meanwhile, a newly restored version of The Beatles’ classic 1970 documentary film Let It Be is set to hit Disney+ next week (May 8).

The film, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, was first released in cinemas 54 years ago and has been difficult to obtain since – prompting considerable bootlegging. It features footage of the Fab Four while they were writing and recording their 12th and final studio album of the same name in January 1969 at London’s Twickenham Film Studios.

As he did for the 2022 docuseries Get Back, which features extra archive material from the Let It Be shoot, acclaimed filmmaker Peter Jackson has used state-of-the-art digital technology to restore the 55-year-old film reels to crisp, modern quality.

In other McCartney news, he has praised Beyoncé’s cover of his song ‘Blackbird’, which was included on her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’.

“I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’,” he wrote. “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.”

“I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it!”

McCartney is also preparing to release the 1974 Wings live album ‘One Hand Clapping’ for the first time. It was recorded when McCartney and Wings headed to Abbey Road Studios for the recording of a documentary and possible live studio album, but was never officially released despite overwhelming demand, although various bootleg versions emerged over the years. The record will be out on June 14.
