Inside the making of The Beatles' Now And Then: Son of 'fifth member' George Martin
The Beatles' last ever track sent fans into a frenzy when it hit the airwaves last week.
And now Giles Martin, the son of the band's unofficial fifth member George Martin, has shared insight into the making of the track, which was completed with the help of modern day technology over five decades after it was first recorded.
Speaking to The Sun, Giles, whose father George was a producer on many of the band's albums, shared that Paul McCartney contacted him about finishing the demo after John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono handed it to the band in 1994.
He said: 'I know Paul and he has an amazing memory. I'm sure it bothered him that they never finished it.'
Giles added that there was 'no marketing plan' behind releasing the track, and Yoko simply handed over the song to the band as it was 'a beautiful tune' John had written.
