Paul McCartney poses for ‘ultimate rock and roll selfie’ with Ronnie Wood and Ringo Starr

Sir Paul McCartney came close to breaking the Internet after he reunited with fellow Beatle Ringo Starr.

The legendary musician shocked supporters after he posed alongside Starr, Rolling Stones icon Ronnie Wood and actress Emma Thompson.

McCartney's daughter, and fashion designer, Stella McCartney shared the rare shot which she captioned: “Emma Thompson a couple of Beatles a stone and moi... kick a** tonight dad x Stella.”

The image was hailed the “ultimate rock and roll selfie” by fans on Instagram.

One user wrote: “This picture is everything I needed and didn’t know it.”

Another commented: “THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.”

A third added: “A room full of creative genius! No, not at all epic! OMG.”

The image comes after Sir Paul was joined on-stage by Wood and Starr for his concert at London's O2 on Sunday night.

Performing to a sold-out audience, the 76-year-old gave fans the performance of a lifetime as he invited the pair on stage to perform Beatles hit Get Back.

The special moment went down a treat with fans, with one social media user admitting she “cried through the show.”

She wrote: “We were there. My son was crying all the way through the show he has been waiting to see Paul for many years and it made his night when Ringo came out too.”

Another user tweeted: “Consider my mind utterly, utterly blown. The greatest gig I’ve ever seen. Macca, Ringo and Ronnie Wood together at once takes some topping.”

The epic performance comes months after McCartney sent Beatles fans into an emotional frenzy after he teamed up with James Corden for Carpool Karaoke.

The special skit saw the duo pay a visit to McCartney's childhood home in Liverpool before heading to Penny Lane, which inspired the song of the same name based on his experiences of growing up in the area, and McCartney got out to autograph the famous street sign. Throughout their journey, he pointed out notable landmarks from his youth, including a church where he was once in the choir.

They also stopped at the barbershop mentioned in Penny Lane recounting the story of how he came to write Let It Be, saying his mother’s dream had inspired the song. The Late Late Show host began to cry and revealed that his grandfather and father once sat him down and played him Let It Be.

The segment ended with the superstar treating drinkers in the Philharmonic pub to a surprise gig, reducing Corden to tears.
