Kate Moss, Johnny Depp and Gary Barlow among stars in Paul McCartney’s

The former Beatle’s video for Queenie Eye is set in legendary Abbey Road studios and features cameos from Meryl Streep, Jude Law and Chris Pine.

There aren’t many rock superstars with enough sway to have a heap of A-listers on their new music video, but Paul McCartney is certainly one of them.

For the video for Queenie Eye, taken from his brand-new album New – currently at Number 3 in the Official Albums Chart – Paul McCartney returned to where his career began over 50 years ago, at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London.

Sir Paul is one of the most well connected stars in the biz, and was soon consulting his celebrity-packed address book and rounding up a load of his famous pals to help him out. Among the celebs filming cameos in Abbey Road are supermodel Kate Moss, her ex, Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp and Take That frontman turned X Factor judge Gary Barlow.

Queenie Eye is produced by Paul Epworth, who has worked with Adele, Florence and the Machine and Bruno Mars to name just a few. And just to cement Paul McCartney’s status as friend of the stars, other showbiz pals to appear include actor Jude Law, Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, Star Trek star Chris Pine, comedian and BRIT Awards presenter James Corden, comedienne Tracey Ullman, model Lily Cole, actor Jeremy Irons, supercool designer Tom Ford, actor Sean Penn, model Laura Bailey, actress Alice Eve, artist Sir Peter Blake, singer Jack Savoretti and – phew, we’re out of breath now – Sir Paul’s very own daughter Stella pops in too. Basically, anyone Paul McCartney doesn’t know probably isn’t worth knowing.

The song is based on a childhood chant Paul remembers when he was growing up in Liverpool: "Queenie eye, queen eye, who's got the ball? It isn't in my pocket. O-U-T spells OUT!"

Macca recalls, "It came from a street game I use to play as a kid. Those kind of things always stick with you. I always liked the rhythm of the chant".

The video sees Paul recording Queenie Eye in what he thinks is an empty studio, but as the song plays the studio starts to fill up with some very special guests.
