The Beatles will release their last record, with the use of artificial intelligence, over 50 years after the band broke up.
The last Beatles song they recorded collectively was “The End,” from the album “Abbey Road” in 1969, the final song of the medley on side two of the album. John Lennon was murdered at the age of 40 in December 1980 and George Harrison died of cancer at the age of 58 in 2001. But surviving member Paul McCartney has revealed he will “extricate” Lennon’s voice from an old demo to create the group’s final song, believed to be “Now And Then.”
“We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” McCartney told Radio 4’s Today program.
McCartney explained that producer Jeff Lynne, who in 1995 and 1996 had released songs recorded by Lennon including “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love,” had also tried to clean up “Now And Then” but had a hard time cleaning up the song, but AI gave McCartney the opportunity to revive Lennon’s voice.
