will release their "final ever" song at 1am next Friday, Australian time, over 43 years after the passing of singer and the song's writerMany fans assumed that song would be Now and Then, a recording that featured on demo cassettes labelled 'For Paul' that Lennon's widow Yoko Ono passed on to McCartney in 1994.
Peter Jackson and his team, who made the 2021 Beatles docuseries Get Back with help from machine audio-learning technology, used the technology to isolate Lennon's voice and piano parts, making it possible to clean up the vocal to bring it up to scratch.What The Beatles: Get Back will show is that all the elements of the band's break-up were there in January 1969, along with the good things. But as history tell us, sooner or later something had to give.
"Back in 1995, after several days in the studio working on the track, George felt the technical issues with the demo were insurmountable and concluded that it was not possible to finish the track to a high enough standard," George's widow Olivia Harrison said. "It was incredibly touching to hear them working together after all the years that Dad had been gone," Lennon's son Sean Ono Lennon said.
