The interviews that Enrique Bunbury is offering to present his new album, ‘pending accounts’ in society are giving a lot of play. In them, the Zaragoza singer is reviewing his new songs, but also chapters of the past, some tremendously curious.
This is the case of the meeting he had with Paul McCartney in April 2022 at a restaurant in Los Angeles. A happy and casual coincidence that has explained In a conversation with journalist Marta Vázquez in Rock FM.
Thus the artist starts his story about a day that he will never forget: “There are many things what to tell about that meeting. We were in a restaurant in Los Angeles. It is a Veganic restaurant in Copetín. Normally the vegans are for all the audiences, more informal. This is luxurious and we were because some friends came from Spain. We were with our food and at the table next door Paul McCartney with his grandchildren, six or seven children, not a single more adult person and no bodyguards in sight. Coincidentally, that day was that of the Grammys and he was nominated. But it didn’t go to the Grammy and preferred to eat. “
The emergence of the mythical member of the Beatles was a revulsive for Enrique Bunbury and his companions: “Our table was transformed, the conversation was about Paul McCartney. We were all the food deciding if we told him something. In the end, when we finished eating, I approached and said: Excuse me, the last thing I want to do is bother. This opportunity could not miss it. I thanked him in the name of the entire humanity. Paul McCartney has done this better world. “
But anecdotes do not end here. McCartney had a very special gift for Bunbury and his wife Jose Girl. “He was very nice, how could it be otherwise, because Paul McCartney is a sympathy professional. It is impossible for anyone to treat Paul McCarney 24 hours a day. Then Jose Girl came and shake his hand and began to sing a song in Spanish. It was a children’s song that he learned at school. It was a bunny. A surreal situation to have Paul McCartney. It was a love. He behaved incredible. I didn’t have to do it. He didn’t know who I was. That is a wonderful thing that Los Angeles has, was on a table Paul McCarney and nobody bothers him, “he concludes.
