Decades after shelving music written and sung by John Lennon, the remaining members of The Beatles announced on Thursday they have a release date for “Now and Then” — a song that one of the most influential bands of all time says will be their last.
“Together and apart, The Beatles have always had a talent for the unexpected,” the group said in a news release. “And now, 2023 brings one of the most anticipated releases of their long and endlessly eventful history.”
On November 2, The Beatles’ final song will be available worldwide digitally and as a double A-side single on 7″ vinyl, 12″ vinyl, and cassette, paired with the iconic group’s debut single “Love Me Do” released in 1962.
The song features vocals from Lennon and electric and acoustic guitar performed by George Harrison, who recorded his tracks six years before he passed away from lung cancer in 2001. Sir Paul McCartney recorded bass, guitar, and piano while Sir Ringo Starr laid down new drum tracks for the 45-year-old song.
McCartney also added a slide guitar solo inspired by Harrison.
