Now that Paul McCartney’s 2024 Got Back Tour has concluded, his guitarists, Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson, have bid their farewells.
They both took to Instagram to share posts after the tour wrapped up. Both Ray and Andersen used the same photo of the band taking their final bow during their curtain call.
“This pic is from the last London show of our tour. It began at the bottom of South America up to Mexico, then through Europe[,] and ended in the UK. Sort of impossible for me to take it all in!” Anderson began. “Colossal thank you's to Paul, the band of brothers, Marshall Arts, the entire touring family crew, and to everyone that came to party and sing along with us.
“We had an absolutely magical time. And what an incredible privilege to be a part of it,” he concluded.

“Jumping for joy at the end of our final show of 2024 with Paul and this Band of Brothers, along with [Hot City Horns] & the best crew on the planet!” his post read. “Thank you one and all for the smiles, the laughs, the singing[,] and the unbridled joy ”
