Paul McCartney says it was 'emotional' hearing John Lennon's voice again on the final Beatles song, 'Now and Then,' out next month.
with over five years of experience covering the latest in entertainment. A proud Kingston University alum, Emlyn has written about music, fandom, film, television, and awards for multiple outlets including MTV News,"There it was, John's voice, crystal clear. It's quite emotional," McCartney said in a press release. "And we all play on it. It's a genuine Beatles recording.
"Now and Then," which will be released Nov. 2, features Lennon's vocals as well as electric and acoustic guitar work Harrison recorded in 1995. Starr provided a new drum part and backing vocals, while McCartney sang and played bass, piano, and guitar on the track, creating a slide guitar solo for the song inspired by Harrison.
George Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, said in a statement that because of the "technical issues" with Lennon's demo, George thought it wasn't possible to "finish the track to a high enough standard" before his death in 2001. "If he were here today, Dhani and I know he would have whole-heartedly joined Paul and Ringo in completing the recording of 'Now And Then.
Physical copies of "Now and Then" will also include the band's 1962 debut single, "Love Me Do" — a nod to both the beginning and the end of the Beatles' legendary discography.
