Former Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are set to release a new record written by former bandmate John Lennon.created with the help of artificial intelligence, will be released next week on Nov 2, the two living former members of the British group, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, revealed Thursday.

Working with Peter Jackson, the film director best known as director of the Lord of The Rings trilogy and also 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.“In 2023, to still be working on Beatles music, and about to release a new song the public haven’t heard, I think it’s an exciting thing.
Starr added the process “was the closest we’ll ever come to having him back in the room so it was very emotional for all of us.Originating in Liverpool, England, The Beatles – Lennon, McCartney, Starr and Harrison – split in 1970, with each going on to have solo careers, but they never reunited. There was an attempt to do the same with “Now And Then” but the project was abandoned because of background noise on the demo.
