Jon Bon Jovi surprised Paul McCartney and fans at MetLife Stadium Thursday night
marathon set at MetLife Stadium Thursday night, a certain mop of silver, feathered hair emerged from the wings.held a huge bundle of balloons. In the other, a microphone, to surprise McCartney just two days before his 80th birthday — and moments before the rock legend was about to perform his apt Beatles classic “Birthday.”
As McCartney was asking the crowd if anyone had a birthday coming up, Bon Jovi interrupted him, quipping “I know it’s somebody’s birthday.”“Who’s that?” McCartney wondered, before turning around to see the Jersey rock star approaching. Bon Jovi continued: “Welcome to New Jersey, I have 60,000 people who want to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to you.”
And so the sold-out crowd sang “Happy Birthday,” with Bon Jovi on lead. After the song was over, Bon Jovi attempted to release the balloons to the sky. They got caught in the rafters and he walked off stage.
