‘Last’ Beatles song set for release next week

“Now And Then”, first written and sung by ex-Beatle John Lennon and developed by the rest of the band, has now been finally finished by McCartney and Starr – and AI – decades after its original recording.McCartney, 81, announced its imminent release in June, in what has been dubbed in a promotional trailer “the last Beatles song”.

“Now And Then” was recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s at his home in New York’s Dakota Building, and also features piano music. Working with Peter Jackson, the film director behind the 2021 documentary series “The Beatles: Get Back”, AI was used to separate Lennon’s voice from the piano chords.“There it was, John’s voice, crystal clear,” McCartney said, in comments published alongside the announcement of the release date.

Recording at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, they also added Starr’s drum part alongside bass, piano, a slide guitar solo by McCartney – inspired by Harrison – and more backing vocals. Lennon was shot dead in New York in 1980 aged 40 while Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001, aged 58. An attempt was made to do the same with “Now And Then” but the project was abandoned because of background noise on the demo.

Sean Ono Lennon, the son of Lennon and Ono, said it was “incredibly touching” to hear the former Beatles working together again “after all the years that dad had been gone.
