A Backstage Look at Paul McCartney's Rider

Ever wondered what the king of rock and roll, Paul McCartney, has in his rider? Wonder no more.

The Beatles legend’s daughter, Mary McCartney, recently took over his Instagram, offering fans a rare glimpse behind the curtain at one of his iconic shows. From the backstage dressing room to the mouthwatering pre-show feast, Mary left no detail untouched.

In a fun and candid four-minute video, Mary sets the stage for the adventure. "I'm taking over Dad's Instagram," she announces excitedly. "I'm about to hop on the tube and go to the O2."

Her journey begins with an early arrival at the venue, giving her—and fans—a chance to hear some of the soundcheck magic before the main event. "I've arrived early so that I can hear some of the soundcheck. I'll give you a sneak peek," she promises.

Once inside, Mary wastes no time unveiling the star's backstage haven. First stop? The dressing room. "A sneak peek into Dad's dressing room," she says, opening the door to reveal neatly hung outfits. "Here are the clothes for later—this is what he has to choose from."

But the real star of the show might just be the food. Mary proudly boasts that Paul has "the best tour catering in the world." She credits "Eat Your Heart Out Catering" and a bit of family legacy for the lavish spread. "Mum went through all of the menus with Kim back in '89, and it is a feast," Mary shares.

And what a feast it is. The platter—large enough to feed a small army—features an impressive variety of dishes. From Yorkshire pudding and vegetarian options to gravy, beans, noodle soup, baklava, and fresh fruits, Paul’s pre-show menu is nothing short of gourmet.

Mary’s takeover not only revealed Paul McCartney’s impeccable taste in food but also highlighted the warmth and attention to detail that goes into making his tours unforgettable.

So next time you picture Paul McCartney rocking out on stage, you can also imagine him enjoying a Yorkshire pudding or a bowl of noodle soup backstage—because even legends need to fuel up before the spotlight hits.
