"Paul McCartney Reunites with Stolen Bass Guitar After 50 Years"
Paul McCartney has been reunited with his stolen 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was used to record hits like "Love Me Do" and "Twist and Shout." The instrument, valued at $12.5 million, was found in a family's attic in Hastings after being stolen in 1972. The bass was authenticated and returned to McCartney, who expressed gratitude for its recovery. The search for the stolen bass was inspired by McCartney himself, and its recovery has brought closure to those involved in its theft and subsequent search.
