Paul McCartneyHere’s something we never thought we’d be sharing: Paul McCartney received a temporary ban on Reddit after trying to share photos from his own gig with fans.
NME reports that the Beatle performed a two-night residency at the 1,200-capacity Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles over the weekend. As the shows were strictly phone-free, McCartney’s long-dormant official Reddit account was reactivated to communicate with fans on the popular forum website.
Posted under the handle PaulMcCartney, a notice to subscribers read, “Hope you enjoyed the show last night. As last night was a phone-free experience we wanted to make sure you had some memories from the show to share with friends, family and loved ones.”
McCartney’s official account, assumedly run by his management, then shared a link to a Dropbox link featuring photos of the show. The musician encouraged fans to share the images on social media with the hashtag #PaulRocksTheFonda.

McCartney’s shows at the Fonda Theatre were his first since the conclusion of his Got Back Tour in November 2025.
Last week, the Band on the Run singer announced that his 19th solo album—his first in six years—will arrive in just two months.
His forthcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, will be released on Friday, 29 May. Accompanying the announcement was the release of the single, Days We Left Behind.
Said to be his “most introspective album to date,” The Boys of Dungeon Lane finds McCartney “in a candid, vulnerable and deeply reflective mood” as he details his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and his early journeys with John Lennon and George Harrison, “long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania.”
In addition to the reflective vibes, McCartney’s wistful thoughts are captured musically, where he utilises “Wings-style rock,” “Beatles-style harmonies,” and “McCartney-style grooves.”
