The children of Beatles’ bandmates Paul McCartney and George Harrison reunited in London after one of them concluded his concert on Tuesday evening. James and Stella McCartney were happy to support Dhani Harrison, whose music career was inspired by George. James shared the wholesome moment on his X timeline, asking fans to visit Dhani’s music portfolio and show support. The photo was taken backstage, and the trio looked glad to see one another as they posed for the quick selfie, with Dhani sharing a huge smile in the front. Fans react as the Fab Four’s kids hang out together Great gig last night in London watching @DhaniHarrison! Please support his music here https://t.co/0s6owP6QFP pic.twitter.com/0Sq2dt6cai — James McCartney (@JamesMcCartney_) October 22, 2024   Fans commended the “Beatles’ babies” for finding each other and sticking together, adding that they looked happy together. “So great to see Beatles kids supporting each other. They have lived an experience that no others have. Privileged yes, but still down to earth I think. Great photo!” someone said in the comments. Another advised James to control his weight, advising him to put his money to good use toward a trainer and a nutritionist. “What a great photo!  I love how you all support each other. Best of luck in all of your ventures. Dhani- hope you make it to the US,” a third person said. The Beatles/Everett The McCartney siblings have always supported Dhani It is not the first time James and Stella are showing up for their friend Dhani, who is George and Olivia Newton’s only child. Dhani has also reciprocated by performing at Stella’s 2016 fashion showcase in Los Angeles. He has attended more of her fashion shows, and when not performing, he is applauding Stella from the audience. The Beatles/Everett Dhani once told the Daily Mail that he feels similar to Stella and her sister Mary McCartney, who he considers his big sisters. Their parents’ friendships set a good precedent, with exemplary support like Paul’s presence when George received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2009.
