Paul McCartney, Beck and Taylor Hawkins all go to a club… it sounds like a dream.
Paul McCartney, Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles, was apparently refused entry from rapper Tyga’s Grammy after-party.
The iconic musician wasn’t alone, as he was joined by Beck and Taylor Hawkins, before the Foo Fighters drummer whisked the pair away.
Here’s the fairly surreal clip.

Tyga himself came in for a backlash on Twitter, but has claimed that he had no knowledge of what was going on outside.
I don't control the door. I had no knowledge SIR PAUL was there. I just performed and left.

Why would I deny @PaulMcCartney stop it. He's a legend 🙏🏾

The rapper was even a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the host brilliantly made Tyga queue up for entry into the green room, before the musician explained what went down.
Take a look.

Nevertheless, the good people of Twitter were on the case.
I don't know what's more sad, Paul McCartney getting turned away from Tyga's party, or the fact he went in the first place

Best part of the Macca door refusal is him turning to Beck:
'We need to write another hit, work on it.' 😂😂 https://t.co/P4HazWuSRf— Paddy McKenna (@PaddyMcKenna) February 17, 2016
Hi @PaulMcCartney you'll always be welcome at our parties. 💃

And a very fair point made in the end of it…
What was Paul McCartney going to do at that party anyway? He was going to say "what?" a lot. Then pretend to hear people. Then "what" again.
