Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney Perform ‘Helter Skelter’ at Vegas Show
PHOENIX, AZ - MARCH 10: Steven Tyler performs onstage at Celebrity Fight Night XXIV on March 10, 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona; MIAMI, FL - JULY 07: Paul McCartney performs in concert at American Airlines Arena on July 7, 2017 in Miami, Florida.
Steven Tyler showed up as a surprise guest at Paul McCartney‘s show in Las Vegas last night (June 28) at T-Mobile Arena and performed “Helter Skelter.”
Tyler shared the video of the performance below and shows him taking in the show in a side stage area, singing along to “Hey Jude” and having a blast before joining Sir Paul on stage. This moment was made possible thanks to Aerosmith being in town for the second leg of their “Deuces Are Wild” Vegas residency at Park MGM.
Aerosmith, of course, recorded a cover of “Helter Skelter” during their recording sessions for Toys in the Attic but didn’t release it until 1991 as part of the compilation set Pandora’s Box.
