Ringo Starr Hopes for Grammy Gold with The Beatles’ Final Track “Now and Then”

The legacy of The Beatles lives on! Furthermore, their last song, “Now and Then” which was created using AI has received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance and Record of the Year. The song marked an emotional return to the charts for the Liverpool founded band. It also ranked top of the UK charts and into the US top 10.

John Lennon

John Lennon wrote the song many decades prior. However, “Now and Then” was brought to life decades later by surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Moreover, Ringo shared how Paul approached him to finalize the project which blended nostalgic collaboration with modern technology. Ringo said, “Paul sent the files, and I added the drums and harmonized on the chorus.” “He did a great job. He put the strings on and the lead guitar that gave the track its emotion”

Last Ever Track

As the track vies for prestigious Grammy honors, the 84-year-old drummer remains optimistic. “I’d love to win a Grammy. That’s the business I’m in, and the track is good. The last track ever by the boys.”

AI In Music

Ringo acknowledges that there are concerns surrounding AI’s role in music. But, he does believe that the creation of “Now and Then” demonstrates that AI has the potential to do good in music too.
