Talk about awesome reunions! Still going strong, Beatles stars Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr performed together on stage at the Change Begins Within benefit on Sunday April 5.
The event was organized by the David Lynch Foundation which aims to teach transcendental meditation to children. What better way to encourage world peace and promote friendships and consciousness expansions than getting the only live members of the Beatles to sing With a Little Help From My Friends?
6,000 people turned up to see this legendary performance but had to wait many hours before it started. Singing friends who helped out included Moby, Jerry Seinfeld, Donovan and Sheryl Crow.
