Speaker 2: Paul McCartney confirmed earlier this summer he was working on

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: what he called the last Beatles song and was relying

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: on AI technology to make it happen by salvaging previously

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: recorded vocals by John Lennon. There were two damage to

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: use until recently. Fan reaction to the news was mixed.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: Some were thrilled, others felt it was inappropriate to use

Speaker 2: This is actually John's voice, Paul's voice and bass playing,

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: George on rhythm guitar, and me on drums. The only

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: two things that are new are Paul's bass and me

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: on drums. I did it just months ago and it works.

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful song. For all the madness swirling around it,

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: it's still a beautiful track and our last track, the

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: words of Ringo Star. The track, which is rumored to

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,599
