The show will be the first time McCartney and Starr will have performed together live since the former’s show at The O2 in London on December 19, 2024. They played ‘Helter Skelter’ and ‘Sgt.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ at the time as part McCartney’s ‘Got Back’ tour.

More recently the pair teamed up on the track ‘Home To Us’ on McCartney’s recent album ‘The Boys Of Dungeon Lane’.

It is the first music the two Beatles icons have made together as a duet, which also featured Sharleen Spiteri and The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde on guest vocals.

McCartney tocou a maioria dos instrumentos na música – assim como fez em seu álbum de estreia solo de 1970, ‘McCartney’ – e foi produzido por Andrew Watt.

Sharing what inspired the song, McCartney said at the time: “Ringo went round to the studio and drummed a bit. I said to Andrew, we should make a track and send it to him.

So this song is done totally with Ringo in mind…”.

A última vez que os dois membros sobreviventes dos Beatles trabalharam juntos foi na faixa independente de 2023 ‘Now And Then’ – que foi feita em torno de uma faixa vocal de John Lennon descoberta em 1994, e rotulada como a “final” música do Fab Four.

A colaboração que se aproxima ocorre depois que McCartney oficialmente se tornou bilionário e também o terceiro músico mais rico do mundo.

Meanwhile, NME gave ‘The Boys Of Dungeon Lane’ a four-star review, and described it as “a guided tour of the long and winding road”. Ahead of the album’s release, McCartney sat down with NME to look forwards and back on his extraordinary career, share his “excitement” at contributing to the new The Rolling Stones album, and also revealed if he had any plans to retire.

Since then, the musician has released a Special Edition of the record, which features four new songs including a reimagined version of ‘Home To Us’, and also thrown his full support behind the upcoming Sam Mendes Beatles biopics, but said that there is one small issue that made him reach out to the director.

Os filmes em questão são a série de biopics de quatro filmes prevista para lançamento simultâneo em abril de 2028. Eles contarão com Paul Mescal como McCartney, Harris Dickinson como John Lennon, Joseph Quinn como George Harrison e Barry Keoghan como Starr.

Cada um dos quatro filmes contará a história da banda a partir do ponto de vista de um membro diferente, e marcará os primeiros filmes roteirizados dos Beatles feitos com a plena aprovação da Apple Corps e dos membros sobreviventes da banda, bem como acesso aos direitos musicais do grupo.
