10:58 | Lima, May 08 (ANDINA).
Rock royalty Paul McCartney has arrived in Lima, Peru for his first-ever concert in the South American country on Monday, May 9.
Sir Paul McCartney, one of two surviving members of the Beatles, landed in the Peruvian capital just after 10.00 am on Sunday.
The 68-year-old singer-songwriter was welcomed by dozens of journalists, photographers and screaming fans upon arrival at Jorge Chavez International Airport.
The British musician then headed to a hotel in Miraflores, where more eager fans were waiting to catch a glimpse of their idol.
As soon as the music legend stepped out of his vehicle, McCartney unfurled and waved a Peruvian flag, much to the delight of the crowd.
The Monday gig, part of his Up and Coming tour, will take place at Lima’s Monumental Stadium before a 45,000-strong audience. While in Lima, the ‘Hey Jude’ hitmaker will be awarded with Peru's Order of the Cinchona Tree for his environmental work.
