New Beatles Song , Release Date Announced.
"Now And Then," the Beatles' last "new" song, will debut on Nov.
2, AP reports.
It will be released as a single alongside "Love Me Do," the band's first 1962 single.
Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison took "Now And Then" from John Lennon's unreleased demos and worked on the song together in the mid-'90s.
Technological limitations prohibited the band from finishing the song at that time, although they did release "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" from those same demo sessions.
Artificial intelligence capabilities of today have granted remaining Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr the ability to finish "Now And Then.".
AI was able to pick out Lennon's vocals from the demo to better isolate them within the song.
Harrison laid down a guitar track almost three decades ago, while Starr and McCartney added new drum, bass, piano and guitar tracks.

It’s quite emotional.
And we all play on it, it’s a genuine Beatles recording.
In 2023 to still be working on Beatles music, and about to release a new song the public haven’t heard, I think it’s quite an exciting thing, Paul McCartney, via statement.
This is the last track, ever, that you’ll get the four Beatles on the track.
