Paul McCartney recently faced backlash from netizens over inclusion of Johnny Depp clip in a music video during Glastonbury performance.

On Saturday, the Beatles star played a medley of his amazing hits when he performed on Britain’s Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.

According to Independent, the singer “became the festival’s oldest ever solo headliner at 80 years old”.

However, at the event, Paul reportedly performed his 2012 track My Valentine, which he dedicated to his wife Nancy, and shared clips from song’s music video. 

The clips featured the Pirates of the Caribbean actor “playing guitar and reciting the song’s lyrics in sign language”.
