NEW YORK, N.Y. – Paul McCartney is not lacking for love.

The former Beatle was surrounded by celebrity fans at a nearly two-hour Valentine’s Day concert Saturday at New York City’s Irving Plaza.

He entertained a wide group of admirers, including Peyton Manning, Eddie Murphy, Emma Stone, Tom Hanks and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Other celebs who attended included Jim Carrey, Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig, Q-Tip, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, David Spade, Andy Cohen and Billy Crystal.

McCartney performed excitedly on guitar and keys, singing “Hey Jude,” ”Drive My Car,” ”Let It Be” and “Carry That Weight.”
