Former Beatle Paul McCartney added an unscheduled number to the first
night of his European tour when a French audience of 15,000 struck up
a spontaneous rendition of "Give Peace a Chance" by his late
songwriting partner John Lennon.
McCartney had just completed "Here Today" -- a song he wrote after
Lennon's murder in 1980 -- when the Tuesday night crowd at the Bercy
sports centre in Paris broke into the celebrated peace anthem,
originally penned to protest against the Vietnam war.
Visibly surprised, the former Beatle joined in the chorus but he
otherwise made no reference to the war in Iraq, which is opposed by
the overwhelming majority of the French public.
