The Beatles were a global phenomenon and it has been more than 40 years since the world has seen all four members of the legendary rock band together. It might be surprising to say that they have released a song, their last one, in 2023, but it was uploaded three days ago, on November 3rd, with vocals from John Lennon and contributions from all the other three. Even though there are only two remaining members of the band, with the help of new technology developed by Peter Jackson and his team, they were able to finally complete the song which had been in the works since the 1970s.
The song is called "Now and Then" and in 1995, the other Beatles members, Paul, Ringo, and George had started the project however, because there were no means at the time to separate the vocals which John Lennon had recorded two decades earlier from the piano parts of the tape, it could not progress any further. Until 2022, when the software system was developed and finally, the recording was brought to fruition. Now, we can listen to the Beatles' final song to ever be released with all four members contributing to its creation, "Now and Then".
Open Culture also shares the making of the last Beatles song.
