A large group of fans was greeted by British rock legend Paul McCartney who at around 17.40 hours left his hotel and headed to the Monumental Stadium for the soundcheck of Lima’s most awaited concert.

Accompanied by members of his security team, the 68-year-old singer-songwriter came out from his hotel -located in Miraflores district- with a big smile on his face as he waved to the crowd, who chanted his name over and over again
 
Sir Paul McCartney was wearing black trousers, a white and gray stripped T-shirt and a blue jacket.

The British musician, one of two surviving members of the Beatles, arrived in the Peruvian capital on a private jet just after 10.00 am on Sunday.

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.
