Here's the latest in Triple M Rock News with Kalun! In a surprising announcement, Sir Paul McCartney has thrilled Beatles fans by revealing that a new and final Beatles recording will be unleashed later this year. Through cutting-edge AI technology, Paul and his team have successfully extracted John Lennon's voice from an old demo and completed a long-lost song.

McCartney shared, "We just finished it up, and it'll be released this year." While the specific song remains undisclosed, it is believed to be a 1978 Lennon composition titled "Now and Then." This demo, among others labeled "For Paul," was created by Lennon shortly before his passing in 1980 and subsequently handed over to McCartney by Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow.

Interestingly, the track 'Now and Then' was previously considered a potential reunion song for the Beatles in 1995. However, McCartney disclosed that the song was shelved due to George Harrison's strong disapproval, who famously labeled it "fucking rubbish" and declined to collaborate on it.
