The Beatles’ final song Now and Then to be released on 2 November. John Lennon recorded the home demo in New York City after the Beatles broke up and before he was murdered in 1980. The song was part of a cassette of Lennon's demos that Yoko Ono, his widow, gave to Paul McCartney after his death. The new version includes contributions from McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. To create the song, AI technology was applied by Peter Jackson, director of The Beatles: Get Back docuseries. Machine-assisted learning technology helped separate Lennon's voice from a piano, allowing McCartney and Starr to complete the track with clearer vocals.
