Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance during a charity livestream with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band over the weekend.

Sir Paul joined an all-star performance of "When The Saints Go Marching In" where he joined in on vocals but also played the trumpet.

The outstanding performance also featured guest appearances from Dave Grohl, Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews and Nathaniel Rateliff.

The performance was part of a three-hour livestream event raising money for Preservation Hall Foundation with Spotify pledging to match donations dollar for dollar.

(Sir Paul McCartney inducting Foo Fighters? C'mon now!) She's also well-versed in etiquette and extraordinarily nice. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
