Paul McCartney Says Finishing 'Last' Beatles Song Felt Like He Was Working with John ...
Making the “last” ever Beatles song brought a bit of joy to Paul McCartney – and a spiritual reunion with his old friend, the late John Lennon.
The Beatles released “Now and Then” on Thursday, November 2, a song marketed as the “last” single from The Beatles – McCartney, 81, Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Lennon recorded a demo of the song in the late 1970s, and AI was able to extract his vocals for this now-complete track. For McCartney, it was a way to once again work with his friend, who was murdered in 1980.
“When we were in the studio, we had John’s voice in our ears,” McCartney told BBC Radio 1, per Billboard. “So you could imagine he was just in the next room in a vocal booth or something and we were just working with him again, so it was joyful. It was really lovely, you know, because we hadn’t experienced that for a long time, obviously, and then suddenly here we were working with ol’ Johnny.”
