For a man with a fortune estimated at around £1 billion, you’d expect Sir Paul McCartney to be surrounded by silver trays and private chefs.
Yet the Beatles icon proved he’s as down-to-earth as ever when he was spotted patiently queuing for a simple bowl of fruit at a Los Angeles deli.
A Casual Day Out with Nancy
The 83-year-old music legend kept things low-key during the outing, wearing sunglasses, a navy cap, a zip-up hoodie, and practical velcro sandals.
Beside him, his wife Nancy Shevell, 65, looked stylish in a floral blouse paired with beige trousers.
She also carried a green jacket while browsing the aisles, blending in seamlessly with other shoppers.
A Visit to a Trendy LA Spot
The couple were visiting Gjusta, a popular deli known for its upscale take on breakfast and lunch.
The menu ranges from salmon roe bagels and almond butter toast to smoked brisket hash.
Customers can also build their own sandwiches with fillings like pastrami, salmon, and tomato confit.
Preparing for His U.S. Tour
McCartney’s deli stop came just days before his Got Back Tour kicks off its American leg on September 29 in Palm Springs.
The run continues through the fall, wrapping up in Chicago on November 25.
At his shows, fans can expect a mix of Beatles classics like Hey Jude, Let It Be, and Drive My Car, alongside hits from his Wings days.
A Musician Who Never Slows Down
Despite being well into his eighties, Sir Paul shows no signs of slowing down.
Earlier this year, he even let fans in on how he keeps his energy up.
Beyond touring, he’s also stepping onto the big screen with a cameo in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, the highly anticipated sequel to the cult mockumentary.
Sharing the Stage with Fellow Legends
In the film, McCartney joins Elton John, 78, and the fictional rockers Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) for one final, over-the-top concert.
Director Rob Reiner revealed in an interview that McCartney joked about why he and his peers like Mick Jagger and Elton John keep performing: “Yeah. And the drugs.”
Driven by Pure Love of Music
Reiner clarified that beneath the humor lies a simple truth—these rock icons just love music and performing.
“If they’re given an opportunity, they’ll get in front of an audience and play,” he explained, adding that the film’s message is clear: if you can still do it and still enjoy it, then keep going.
Revisiting His Wings Era
Outside of performing, McCartney has been reflecting on another key chapter of his career.
This November, he’ll release a new book, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run.
It dives into how he rebuilt his career after the Beatles split, when he faced the daunting challenge of starting fresh as a solo artist.
Building Something New from Scratch
Forming Wings in 1971, McCartney pushed through moments of doubt to create a new legacy.
The band went on to produce hit albums like Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, and At the Speed of Sound, proving they could stand on their own.
Looking Back with Pride
Speaking about the book, McCartney admitted that while the early days of Wings were difficult, the journey was rewarding:
“Starting from scratch after the Beatles felt crazy at times.
There were some very difficult moments and I often questioned my decision. But as we got better I thought, ‘OK, this is really good.’”
He added that Wings’ ability to win over massive audiences gave him “a huge buzz” and showed that the band could leave its own mark on music history.
