Paul McCartney Pays Tribute to The Beatles With Upcoming Ringo Starr Duet

At age 83, Paul McCartney shows no signs of slowing down. Just last year, he closed a triumphant North American tour where he proved he could give any young new artist a run for their money. And this year will be just as busy. In May, he will be releasing a new album, titled The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The title and the single he released with the announcement set the tone for what will apparently be a very nostalgic album, looking back on his childhood, his hometown, and, of course, his early years with The Beatles.

And who better to join him in this endeavor than his oldest friend, his former bandmate, Ringo Starr. The two surviving Beatles have joined forces on several occasions through the years, but now, for the first time ever, they will be doing a duet. This piece of news sent Beatles fans into a frenzy, and the story of how the duet came together is even more interesting.
Paul McCartney's New Album Will Feature a Collab With His Fellow Beatle

A few days ago, producer Andrew Watt, who produced Paul McCartney's upcoming album, invited a handful of lucky fans to his home in Los Angeles for a listening party. The invitation was to listen to The Boys of Dungeon Lane ahead of its upcoming release and then discuss it with the producer, but they got the biggest surprise of their lives when Paul McCartney himself showed up and took over the event, sharing insight on the songs and how he'd written them. And revealing that it would feature a duet between the two surviving Beatles.
