The details

According to Cumming, the night started when Emma Stone called him up after attending a Paul McCartney concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Stone and tennis legend Billie Jean King were planning to stop by Cumming's club for a nightcap. However, when they went backstage to meet McCartney, the former Beatle expressed interest in joining them at the club. So the trio arrived at the tiny Club Cumming in three black SUVs. Once there, Cumming asked McCartney if he'd like to sing a song, to which McCartney declined, saying he had just spent three hours singing at the Barclays Center. But then McCartney offered to accompany Cumming and Stone on the harmonica as they got up on stage and sang "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid.
