Sir Paul McCartney made history last night as the oldest solo headliner at Glastonbury Festival, but before he took the stage he gave his 3.9 million Instagram followers a sneak peek at his dance moves.
Paul's Instagram had been taken over by his daughter Mary McCartney, 52, and the photographer went on to capture content behind the scenes for her music icon dad's fans.
Paul bobbed around in his Mandarin collar navy jacket - a nod to the Beatles eighth studio album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - as he held onto his guitar, with the lively crowd heard cheering in the background, before he headed out onto the stage.
The music legend appeared to be in high spirits as he took the stage in the following video, where he would begin his historic 38 song headline set.
Once on stage he welcomed his audience, saying: "Oh man, it's so good to be here. We were supposed to be here three years ago. I've got a feeling we're going to have a great time here tonight".
He then promised his fans that they could expect "old songs, new songs and inbetweeners".
Sir Paul became the oldest solo performer to ever headline Glastonbury last night, as the 80-year-old took the stage and performed almost 40 songs from his impressive back catalogue.
For Beatles fans in the crowd, the night took on even more meaning as Paul was reunited with his former band member, the late John Lennon.
The Liverpool-born legend thanked The Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson for making it technically possible for him to "play live with John on tour" once again.
Paul insisted that the experience was "so special", with him going on to say: "I know it's virtual, but there I am singing with John again. We're back together."
Although the moving performance from the 80-year-old music legend left fans thrilled, some went onto complain that there were not enough Beatles songs played in the 38 song set list.
The Beatles split up in 1970, after having a very successful run throughout the 1960s. Following the split, Paul went on to launch a solo career which he carries on to this day, over 50 years later.
At this point he also formed the band Wings, alongside his wife Linda McCartney. Although Paul played more Beatles hits than Wings songs, fans made complaints online which were quickly shot down by viewers and celebrities at home.
Paul's own discography, in addition to songs he had written for other artists, makes up a significant portion of musical hits throughout his lifetime.
Critic Kathryn Flett wrote: "So you’re Macca, you’ve written a sizeable percentage of the greatest pop songs ever, you’re 80 and frankly you can do whatever you f*ing well like… On the other hand, given the infinite magnificence of your back catalogue, do you really just stick pins in it to make a set list?"
