More than 50 years since the Beatles broke up, John, Paul, George and Ringo are back together, reunited for one final track that was released on Thursday, officially closing the final chapter in the band’s musical output and legacy. The song, titled 'Now and Then,' was played on BBC radio just after 2 p.m. and simultaneously released on streaming platforms.
The tape was passed on to the surviving Beatles members in 1994 by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, and featured the songs 'Free as a Bird' and 'Real Love,' which were both reworked by the surviving members, produced by Jeff Lynne and released as new songs in the 1990s as part of the retrospective 'Anthology' album series.
