The legendary British group, born 61 years ago, released its latest album on October 20, Hackney Diamonds (“Broken glass” in English slang). This 24th studio disc is the first with original songs in 18 years. A shower of stars – Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder – mark this album.
McCartney on the Stones album
And the event within the event is therefore the presence of McCartney, pillar of the Beatles, who plays bass for the first time with the Stones on Cock My Head Off. The so-called Stones-Beatles rivalry – much marketing – never actually existed. Paul McCartney and John Lennon provide backing vocals on the title We Love You by the Stones in 1967.
“Hey, if you can get one of the Beatles on your song, you know, you gotta do it.”confides Keith Richards, 79 years old, in the British newspaper The Telegraph. And to add: “We have always been great friends”. Coincidentally with the calendar, the Beatles, separated since 1970, made headlines again on November 2 with an official song, regenerated by artificial intelligence (AI), with the agreement of the rights holders.
Now and Then was thus born from a demo recorded at the end of the 1970s by John Lennon in his New York apartment. After his assassination in 1980, his widow Yoko Ono handed over the band, voice and piano, to the other members of the group in 1994. AI recently made it possible to isolate Lennon’s voice and mix it with recordings of other musicians, including George Harrison, recorded before his death in 2001. The song was completed and endorsed by both living members, Paul McCartney, 81, and Ringo Starr, 83.
