00:00 A new Beatles song will be released next week, featuring the voice of late member John Lennon
00:05 and developed using artificial intelligence.
00:08 Billed as the last Beatles song, Now and Then also features parts recorded by surviving
00:12 members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as the late George Harrison.
00:16 In a statement, McCartney says, quote, "In 2023, to still be working on Beatles music
00:22 and about to release a new song the public haven't heard, I think it's an exciting thing."
00:26 Now and Then dates back to the late 1970s when Lennon recorded a home demo in New York
00:31 City where he was murdered in 1980.
00:34 The Beatles broke up in 1970 and Harrison died of cancer in 2001.
00:39 Years after his death, Lennon's widow Yoko Ono handed a set of recordings, including
00:43 Now and Then, to the other Beatles, who added their own parts to it.
00:47 But technological limitations meant Lennon's vocals and piano could not be separated to
00:51 produce the clear mix required to finish the song.
00:54 The song will be released worldwide on November 2.
