From 1999 to 2003, Dr. Erol Onel served as an assistant professor of urology at Tufts University/New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Now the vice president of Heron Therapeutics, he works with a team in an effort to get a long-acting non-opioid drug approved. In Dr. Erol Onel’s personal time, he is an avid fan of the Beatles.
Former Beatles member Sir Paul McCartney, 75, recently surprised attendees at a Stevie Van Zandt show by taking the stage to perform the Beatles hit “I Saw Her Standing There” alongside Van Zandt. Inviting McCartney on stage, Van Zandt told the sold-out crowd, “We are going to finish this song we had started.”
Stevie was referring to a show that took place five years before at London’s Hard Rock Calling Festival, held in Hyde Park, where a power outage interrupted the duo’s first attempt at performing the Beatles song together. This time the two did finish the song, at which time McCartney praised Van Zandt, saying “We love you, Stevie, we love your band.”
The show was part of Van Zandt’s first major United Kingdom tour in over 25 years. The former E Street Band member is now touring with his own band, Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul, to promote the group's latest album, Soulfire.
