Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will come together for a special appearance at Joe Walsh’s annual VetsAid event. Slated to take place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 29, the surviving Beatles members will perform with Walsh and his combo during the all-star benefit show. Other confirmed acts include Las Vegas-bred act The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius. The two Beatles members most recently shared the stage on December 19, 2024, when Starr sat in with McCartney for “Helter Skelter” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” during his tour-closing performance at London’s O2 Arena.
Founded by Walsh in 2017, VetsAid is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization and benefit music festival that raises funds for veterans’ groups across the country. The event supports a variety of established and tested veterans-based charities with a proven track-record that provide complete and holistic care for veterans and their families, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Walsh has been in Vegas for much of the past few years while the Eagles host their extensive residency at Sphere.
In 2008, Walsh married Marjorie Bach, whose sister Barbara Bach wed Starr back in 1981, making the two rock stars brothers-in-law. They have since collaborated numerous times on stage and in the studio.
