Despite the fact that some musicians, including members of The Rolling Stones, refused to perform at the opening of the Olympics in London, their songs were still performed. In addition, the audience could dance to the hits of the bands Queen, Prodigy, Placebo, Sex Pistols, Eurythmix and others. To enhance the effect and impress the audience, the organizers of the event also invited Paul McCartney. After the cover versions of the songs of the famous Liverpool Four were performed, the audience was already ready for the performance of the former member of the group, but his appearance on the stage was still unexpected and at the same time very solemn. Paul McCartney spoke at the very end of the ceremony, singing the songs "Hey Jude" and "The End".
