Last year we reported on the reunion of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for a John Lennon tribute.
The two remaining Beatles reunited to record a cover of Grow Old With Me, one of the final songs that John Lennon wrote before he was killed in 1980.
Lennon had written Grow Old With Me during writing sessions for his Grammy Award-winning final record Double Fantasy, right before he was shot in 1980. However, his bandmates only learned of the demos many years later.
Ringo Starr was introduced to the song by Jack Douglas, the producer behind Double Fantasy.
Speaking to the BBC, Ringo described: “I’d never heard about this track and I bumped into the producer, Jack Douglas. He said ‘Did you ever hear the John cassette?”
” (I said) ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,'” Ringo continued. “He said ‘I’ll get you a copy.'”
