In June, Beatles legend Paul McCartney celebrated his 80th birthday. But the singer is far from being old-fashioned. In addition to impressive stage shows, he is now also demonstrating his fitness.
Singer and Beatles legend Paul McCartney shows his yoga skills: the 80-year-old masters a headstand without any problems. This is proven by a photo on his Instagram account, in which he shows the perfectly executed exercise on a mat. In an interview on his website he talks about his yoga practice. "I like yoga and practice it whenever I can," says the singer.
Over the years he had "learned a few tricks, for example the headstand". The exercise is his "show-off moment" in the gym. "A lot of people lift big weights while I lift small weights. I can't do what they can with their big muscles, so I finish my workout with headstands. A lot of times they come up to me and say, 'Hey, that's pretty impressive!'" he says.
The headstand is good for him. "A yoga teacher once told me that it keeps you young. You turn all the organs of the body upside down and since they spend the rest of the day either lying flat in bed or standing up and being pulled down by gravity, the inversion is supposed to Supposed to be good. But it's also fun!" McCartney continues.
In June, the singer celebrated his 80th birthday. He regularly shows how fit he still is on stage. In June he ended his "Got Back" tour with a headlining performance at the Glastonbury Festival. McCartney performed in front of around 200,000 spectators on the main stage of the music festival and brought several guests of honor onto the stage for his almost three-hour set.
A special highlight was a duet made possible thanks to modern technology with deceased bandmate John Lennon (1940-1980). Along with him, McCartney sang the 1970 Beatles hit "I've Got a Feeling." "It's very special to me," McCartney said afterwards. "I know it's virtual. Here I am singing with John again, we're reunited."
