Beatles legend Paul McCartney (83) posted photos of his performances for his fans and was forced to leave his fan community.

McCartney successfully completed a solo performance on the 27th and 28th (local time) at the Fonda Theater, a small 1200-seat venue in LA, USA, where mobile phones were prohibited. Hollywood stars, including Ringo Starr, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Billlie Eilish and Harrison Ford, drew attention.

On the 28th, the day after the performance, McCartney shared a link to the fan community r/Paul McCartney through its official Reddit account with photos and videos of the first performance. Reddit is an online community platform divided by themes, and r/PaulMcCartney is the official fan board run by his fans.

McCartney said, "As last night's performance was without a cell phone, we prepared pictures so that fans who could not attend could share memories."In addition, it recommends the use of the #PaulRockTheFonda hashtag.

However, immediately after the post was posted, an absurd thing happened. The operator (modulator) managing the fan community deleted the post and blocked McCartney's account from the entire platform. When other fans accessed the community, only the phrase "paulmccartney has been banned" appeared.

The exact cause has not been identified, but some users believe that Reddit's automatic anti-spam system mistook external file-sharing links such as "Dropbox" for spam, or that the operator suspected the authenticity of the account.

The fan community management publicly apologized, saying, "We made a mistake," and the account was restored soon after, but the post in question remains deleted.McCartney's Reddit account was the only activity to hold an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session during the promotion of his 2020 album "McCartney III."

On X (formerly Twitter), reactions such as "I can't believe I'm kicked out of my fan board" and "operators are amazing," and someone parodied McCartney's masterpiece "Banned on the Run" and pointed it out as "Banned on the Run."
