Paul McCartney got a little help from his friends on Sunday when he closed his headlining performance at the Corona Capital festival with an all-star rendition of “The End” featuring Jack White and St. Vincent.
All three artists performed separately at the weekend-long festival, which took place at Mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. St. Vincent — who previously collaborated with McCartney on his 2021 remix album McCartney III Imagined — joined the former Beatle earlier in his 29-song set for a rousing rendition of “Get Back,” then returned to the stage for “The End.” The show-closing performance featured a five-way guitar jam between McCartney, White, St. Vincent and McCartney’s touring guitarists Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray, with McCartney pointing at each musician to signal their turn to take a solo.

Paul McCartney, St. Vincent and Jack White’s Current Album and Tour Plans
McCartney is in the middle of his globe-trotting Got Back tour, which launched its 2024 leg on Oct. 1 in Montevideo, Uruguay. He’ll head to Europe in early December and play shows in France, Spain and the United Kingdom.
St. Vincent, meanwhile, just released Todos Nacen Gritando, a Spanish-language version of her most recent album, All Born Screaming. The Texas-raised musician called the project a “tribute” to the fans she encountered while touring Latin America and Spain. “These crowds were united in their passion — singing every word to every song in perfect English,” she told Variety. “It was truly inspiring. Eventually, I asked myself: If they can sing along in a second or third language, why can’t I meet them halfway?”
White is also just a few months removed from the guerilla-style release of his latest album, No Name, which he quietly slipped into Third Man Records shoppers’ bags back in July. The rock giant has been playing last-minute club shows across the United States in support of the album, and he’ll embark on a proper world tour next month, beginning in Hong Kong.
