Actor and musician John Stamos recently shared a series of throwback photographs featuring himself alongside prominent music figures, prompting a surprised reaction from some followers who initially misinterpreted the posts. The images, shared on social media, included iconic musicians, leading to brief alarm among some viewers.
The update on May 1 included three photos from past encounters. One showed John Stamos with Paul McCartney, formerly of The Beatles.
A second photo featured Stamos holding his son Billy while standing with Ringo Starr, another member of The Beatles. The third image offered a look back at a past party that included David Bowie and actress Mary Stuart Masterson.
Stamos accompanied the photos with a simple caption referencing the individuals shown. However, the image featuring McCartney led some fans to momentarily believe the post was a posthumous tribute, triggering concern.
Comments on the post reflected this initial reaction. "I was so scared that Paul died, at first," wrote one fan, while another added, "Don’t do this to me John.. I thought Paul was dead."
Reports indicate McCartney, 82, remains healthy and has no current reported health issues, confirming the fans' fears were unfounded.
In other recent activity, the actor and musician collaborated with Drumeo.
For a video segment, Stamos was tasked with developing his own drum parts for the 2000 song "Last Resort" by Papa Roach, a track he was reportedly unfamiliar with prior to the exercise.
The actor’s social media activity frequently draws attention for its mix of personal updates and nostalgic content.
Reflecting on the brief scare caused by the throwback photos, one fan comment read simply, "Don’t scare me like that."
