On the night of Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday, the audience fell silent when Sean Ono Lennon – John Lennon’s son – sang Here, There and Everywhere. The familiar yet haunting melody moved everyone to tears. Sean choked up calling Paul “a close friend of my father – John Lennon”, turning the performance into an emotional message. In the dim light, Paul trembled, his eyes red, as if he was conversing with Lennon in another world. He sobbed: “John is always in my heart, every moment, every melody.” Then he confessed softly: “I kept choking up playing this”… And the next sentence made the whole world burst into tears.
