Adam Levine Reflects on Nerve-Wracking Beatles Tribute and Paul McCartney's Thoughtful Apology

Levine recounts performing Beatles hits in front of legends McCartney and Starr, sharing how a lighthearted joke from McCartney led to a heartfelt moment of connection.

  • Adam Levine revisited his 2014 performance at a CBS Beatles tribute, describing it as one of the most nerve-wracking moments of his career.
  • Maroon 5 performed 'All My Loving' and 'Ticket to Ride' during the event, commemorating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' Ed Sullivan Show debut.
  • Paul McCartney jokingly told Levine after the performance, 'You know, we did it better,' which Levine found humorous and fitting given McCartney's iconic status.
  • Months later, McCartney approached Levine at a party to apologize for any unintended offense caused by his earlier comment, a gesture Levine described as deeply humanizing.
  • Levine also confirmed Maroon 5's upcoming single by the end of April, a summer album release, and a fall tour, marking an exciting new chapter for the band.
