At the height of Beatlemania, teenaged “Adrienne from Brooklyn” professed her love for Paul McCartney in a now-viral clip. Paul finally returned the favor via social media - inviting Adrienne to see his exhibition in her hometown. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson spoke to Adrienne’s family about what the shoutout would’ve meant to their mom.

For this wondering about her age - Adrienne had stage 4 lymphoma and was age 41. Quite young and very sad.

That is sad. So young.

So sad she wasn’t alive to see this. Who would’ve guessed Paul McCartney would still be with us in 2024 but not her?

@user-gz9dv9oh9o 27 дней назад

Diet is key. Paul has been a vegetarian most of his life. Adrian, even at a young age, looked prone to being overweight. Her children aren’t exactly thin either. Genetics are very important, as are your own choices, i.e., diet.

@1412Bunny 25 дней назад

@@user-gz9dv9oh9o she died when she was 41 years old of lymphoma. you're so rude.

@user-gz9dv9oh9o 25 дней назад

@@1412Bunny I don’t think so, I speak the truth- genetics and diet are important factors in having a long life. Of course, those are generalities and don’t address this person’s specific circumstances. If she died young from cancer, that is both sad and unfortunate. But you can’t tell me that having a healthy diet and a genetic predisposition towards being thin and not overweight doesn’t give a person a far greater chance of living a longer life. How many very overweight people in their 80s or 90s do you see? The answer is almost none, because those people generally die before they reach those ages. That is reality. It’s not surprising that Paul, as someone who seems predisposed toward being thin, and who has maintained a healthy diet all his life, is still alive and vibrant. It’s not a coincidence.

That’s really cool. I’ve watched that video since i was kid and amongst the fans we know those special fans that stuck out. I remember a girl who did a painting of paul coming up from the ground “like a sprout’. The girl said to her the Beatles are a new dawn of a new generation, couldn’t agree more. Much love to Adrienne who although she has passed, her wish did come true many years later. Here’s to you 🥂

@dggydddy59 27 дней назад

Yeah, I remember that girl too. She says, "...and if you notice, he's like GROWING!" I think see said she wouldn't tear him apart and would speak to him like a decent human being, if she got to meet him. That kind of stuff is really charming, I think. These girls were a million percent sincere, you know. I was a 5 year old boy in 1964 - 65 and nobody was a bigger Beatle fan than me, so I totally empathize. Cheers!

For reference as to how beloved and impactful this band was/is… I saw Paul live 2 years ago, I cried (happy tears) and had the same exact reaction as Adrianne and all of the girls in the 60s. I’m 20 years old and now have younger cousins who love The Beatles as much as I do. As cheesy as it is to say, this band really did change the world. There was nothing like them before, there will never be anything like them again, they will always be the greatest and most influential band ever, and people will love them until the end of time
