Paul McCartney has responded to a fan’s declaration of love that was made six decades ago.
The Beatles singer-songwriter, 81, shared his reply in a video message on Instagram.
At the start of the video, a clip from is played, in which a woman who calls herself Adrienne is interview by a journalist ahead of the band’s first US tour in 1963.
“Paul McCartney if you are listening, Adrienne from Brooklyn loves you with all her heart,” says the woman.
McCartney then addressed the fan, speaking into the camera.
“Hey Adrienne, it’s Paul,” he says. “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!”
He then points down the lens with his finger, smiling.
A new exhibition, Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm, is currently running at the Brooklyn museum until 18 October. The show contains photographs taken by the Beatle documenting the band’s first US trip.
In a caption alongside the video, he wrote: “And Adrienne from Brooklyn if you are listening, Paul McCartney from Liverpool loves you too"
