Paul McCartney live in Argentina A little girl's dream came true when she was invited on stage to play the bass guitar with Paul McCartney during a gig in Argentina. The Beatles legend, who is on tour in Buenos Aires, shocked Leila Harfuch Lacase, 10, when he called her up to join him as he performed to 45,000 fans at the La Plata Stadium. The 73-year-old singer spotted her home-made signs, as she sat in the front row. One said 'Sign my monkey' and the other said: 'I want to play bass with you'. She said: 'They saw the signs I had made with my mum and they invited us.' But when McCartney offered to sign her cuddly toy she surprised him by repeating her request to play bass guitar with the pop legend. He asked her if she had brought her guitar. She said she had not but cheekily pointed towards the musicians in his band. McCartney then told the crowd: 'This is going to be interesting' before the pair sang 'Get Back' to the huge audience. Leila said: 'I was very nervous, but they gave me the bass, my fingers stopped trembling because I know the song well, I still can't believe it happened.'
The lucky schoolgirl, who is a massive Beatles fan and aspires to be a rock star, said her relatives and friends had not stopped calling her to congratulate her. She said: 'My dad Andres put on the Beatles when I was little and since then I never stopped listening to them. I learnt their songs and now I can play and sing most of them.' The video has gone viral in Argentina and Leila has become famous overnight.
