They're two of the world's biggest pop and rock icons - and according to reports, they're going to join each other on stage at a historic concert in Vancouver.
Sir Paul McCartney hasn't performed in Vancouver for nearly 50 years, so anticipation for Sunday night's BC Place show was already at a fever pitch– but when the rumour mill started saying that famed rocker Bruce Springsteen, who is playing Rogers Arena the next night, might join the former Beatle on stage, it went into overdrive.
On Friday afternoon, Vancouver radio station CKNW tweeted "Just confirmed. Bruce Springsteen is flying in a day early to perform with Paul McCartney Sunday night at BC Place. Show's already sold out."
Although Live Nation would not confirm the appearance, legendary DJ Red Robinson - who emceed the Beatles' 1964 Vancouver show, and was famously told by John Lennon to "get the f--k off the stage" when he tried to calm the crowd – later took to the airwaves to say that Springsteen was indeed flying to Vancouver early to join McCartney.
It's not the first time the pair has performed together on stage. The two played "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout" in London's Hyde Park in July, but police shut the show down for going past curfew, which caused a media tizzy. The two vowed to reunite and finish the set - and it looks as if Vancouver is where they'll make good on the promise.
The two are also slated to perform at the "12-12-12" benefit for Hurricane Sandy at New York's Madison Square Garden on December 12.
But rock and pop fans who want to catch the two living legends together will pay dearly: Tickets for McCartney's Vancouver show sold out in minutes, as did his two first-ever shows in Edmonton, and they are selling for hundreds - or even thousands - on ticket reselling sites.
