Get Back! Paul McCartney Rumored to Perform at Apple 50th Anniversary Event

The long and winding road may lead to Cupertino. Apple will reportedly celebrate 50 years with a little help from one of the Beatles.

Anyone in the mood for some silly love songs? Longing to get by with a little help from a friend?

Apple’s 50th anniversary events began earlier this month with an Alicia Keys performance in New York City, and they’ll reportedly wrap up at the company headquarters in Cupertino, California, with another legendary musician.

Could it be the Beatle behind Let It Be, Paul McCartney himself? That’s the rumor.

Apple is celebrating 50 years since its founding on April 1, 1976, with anniversary gatherings around the world. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it’ll culminate in an event for employees at Apple’s headquarters. In a Saturday post on X, Gurman teased a headliner at the finale: «Let me just say he’s still going strong, was part of the British Invasion and Jobs would’ve been ecstatic.»

Apple’s 50th anniversary celebrations will conclude this week with a finale at its Cupertino campus for employees. Staffers are pumped after being told who the headliner is. Let me just say he’s still going strong, was part of the British Invasion and Jobs would’ve been ecstatic.

Gurman didn’t outright say Paul McCartney would be in attendance, but that didn’t stop people from flooding replies on X with the English musician’s name. The mention of «British Invasion» points to The Beatles, and Steve Jobs told 60 Minutes in 2003 that the band inspired his business philosophy.

There’s a name connection, too: The Beatles founded British music label Apple Records in 1968. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne founded Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976.

A representative for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, not like anyone would spoil the surprise.

While the date of the big event is unknown, Gurman noted in his X post that the finale takes place «this week.» If you’re a non-Apple employee who’ll be hanging out at home as McCartney does (or doesn’t) perform, you can look back at Apple’s evolution with us by revisiting iconic products and more of what sticks out in Apple’s legacy.
