If you’re a fan of ‘old school’ rock ‘n roll you must surely have heard of the Desert Trip festival, where a host of the most legendary musicians from the past 50 years gathered in California for a proper jam.

Of course McCartney, Rihanna and Kanye released the chart-topper last year, and now two of the three teamed up over the weekend.
