Blackbird featured on The Beatles’ White Album, and holds particular poignancy for Beyonce, as it was originally written as a protest song against inequality in the US in the 1960s, when The Beatles refused to perform for a segregated audience.
Beyonce’s cover of the song, titled Blackbiird, features on her Cowboy Carter album.
After it was released, Paul himself praised Beyonce’s cover of the song, saying: ”I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.’
On Monday, Beyonce brought her London shows to a close, having welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over £45million (over $61million USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium’s history.
Beyoncé also now holds the all-time record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the most concerts performed by any artist.
Her Cowboy Carter Tour shows – held June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 – surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
This broke her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue.
At the venue she also broke the record for the most ticket sales for any artist – with over 275,000 tickets sold.

The news comes after Beyoncé reportedly ‘bowed down’ to Mariah Carey and ‘packed up her £25k-a-night London penthouse for the diva songstress to move in.’
The If I Were A Boy hitmaker had booked a 12-night stay at the Corinthia while performing at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But she allegedly moved out at the weekend when self-confessed diva Mariah, 56, touched down to play at Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday.
A source told The Sun: ‘Superstars as big as Beyonce and Mariah want to stay in only the best hotels.
‘Beyonce had been staying in Corinthia’s penthouses.
‘But when Mariah flew in, Beyonce packed up so Mariah could take over her suites. It was like Beyonce was bowing down to another music queen.’
It came after Beyonce made a rare public statement about her elusive son Sir Carter while bringing her show to Tottenham on Thursday.
In fan footage uploaded on X, the pop diva wished little Sir and his fraternal twin sister Rumi Carter a happy eighth birthday while onstage.
‘Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi!’ Beyoncé commanded her devoted Beyhive.
At that, Knowles-Carter’s 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter affectionately touched her little sister on the chin during the three-hour concert featuring over 35 songs.
‘Say happy birthday, Sir!’ the 35-time Grammy winner added as Rumi embraced her. ‘Mommy loves you.’
Blue Ivy serves back-up dancer duties on tour while Rumi has been making an appearance onstage each night of Beyoncé’s tour beginning at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on April 28.
