The two were captured by ECHO photographers as they visited the performing arts school on Mount Street on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Sir Paul co-founded LIPA and was spotted arriving at the main entrance earlier today. Springsteen was ushered in via another entrance and has since been pictured leaving the school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Born in the USA singer interacted with fans as he signed autographs and posed for selfies. A huge crowd was gathered outside LIPA earlier today as Sir Paul arrived at the main entrance to huge cheers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">E Street band guitarist Steven Van Zandt was also pictured arriving at the school. The meeting is certain to fuel speculation about whether Sir Paul will join Springsteen on stage at some point during his final show in L4 tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Many fans have taken to the ECHO comments on Instagram to speculate that Sir Paul will be making an appearance at Anfield. Stacey said: &#8220;Bruce is bringing Macca out tomorrow isn&#8217;t he&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Lisa commented: &#8220;Bet he&#8217;s on tomorrow night?&#8221; Jason added: &#8220;We are going to see the Boss tomorrow and now looks like Macca will be joining him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">It wouldn&#8217;t be the first time the iconic musicians have performed on stage together. Most notably, Springsteen joined <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/paul-mccartney\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Sir PaulLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Sir Paul<\/a> on stage as a special guest during the 82-year-old&#8217;s headline set at Glastonbury Festival in 2022.

As he arrived on stage, he announced to the crowd: &#8220;It is great for us to be in Liverpool where, for us, it all began.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_Paul-McCartney-leaving-LIPA-in-Liverpoolafter-Bruce-Springsteen-visit-during-his-Anfield-concerts..jpeg\" alt=\"Sir Paul McCartney spotted leaving LIPA after he visited the school with Bruce Springsteen\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Sir Paul McCartney spotted leaving LIPA after he visited the school with Bruce Springsteen(Image: Andrew Teebay Liverpool Echo)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The New Jersey native was in his teenage years when the Fab Four announced themselves to America with their performance on the Ed Sullivan show. He paid further homage to how his musical tastes were forged in Merseyside when he played a cover of Twist and Shout in the encore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The classic song was originally sung by The Top Notes, but become synonymous with The Beatles when they released a cover version in 1963. Springsteen has often played Twist and Shout on live shows previously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, Wednesday&#8217;s performance was just the second time the song has featured on the Land Of Hope and Dreams setlist so far. The cover wasn&#8217;t the only special Liverpool moment from Wednesday&#8217;s show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He referenced Liverpool FC&#8217;s <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/barclays-premier-league\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Premier LeagueLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> title win this season as he told the crowd: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/whats-on-news\/bruce-springsteen-sends-message-liverpool-31790841\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;&#8216;Come on!

This is for America&#8217;s dear leader.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Ahead of House of A Thousand Guitars, he said: \u201cThe last check on power, after the checks and balances have failed, are the people. That\u2019s all that\u2019s left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It\u2019s in the union of people around a common set of values. That\u2019s all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism. In America right now we have to organise at home, at work, peacefully in the street. We thank the British people for their support because, at the end of the day, all we have is each other.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boss was spotted with the iconic Beatle in Liverpool ahead of the show at AnfieldBruce Springsteen was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,7627,393,4884,179,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-164226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-bruce-springsteen","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114639109069035420","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
