James relished singing along with the pop icon and dressed up in Beatles outfits including one from the Sgt. Pepper's era, one that harked back to band's mop-top beginnings in the early 60s and in gear from their later hippy days.
The first tour on the pair's magical mystery tour was Penny Lane, prompting a duet of the classic.
Paul pointed out that he used to sing in St Barnabas Church choir, the same church in which his brother was married, and he popped into the barbers featured in the song.
During a rendition of Let It Be James broke down in tears as he remembered his late granddad and dad playing him the song.

He said: “I had to text him back and was like, ‘No dude, that’s not what we meant.’
“What we were trying to say was it was uncomfortable to sit in a car and try to sing our own songs.
“If we were singing Queen songs or Led Zeppelin songs or Beatles songs, it would have been fine. But to sit there and sing your own songs . . . we felt weird about it.
