Paul McCartney, preparing for his upcoming Australian tour later this year, shared insights into his creative process and the profound impact of working with John Lennon.
Reflecting on their collaboration as the iconic Beatles, McCartney expressed how he still wonders what Lennon would think of his new music and how he misses Lennon’s input when composing songs.
The trust and synergy they shared allowed them to work together effortlessly, bouncing ideas and quickly resolving creative challenges.
Beatles’ break-up
In 2021, the narrative around the Beatles’ break-up shifted with the release of Peter Jackson’s “The Beatles: Get Back” documentary, showing never-before-seen footage of the band recording their album “Let it be.”
The documentary dispelled the notion that McCartney was solely responsible for the break-up, bringing a sense of relief and validation to him.
For his upcoming tour, McCartney will be joined by Lennon through a piece of technological magic used in the documentary.
Lennon’s voice will be isolated and projected alongside McCartney on stage, allowing them to perform together once more. McCartney described the experience as magical, as it feels like he is truly singing with his old buddy again, evoking deep emotions during their performances. For audiences, it’s a nostalgic journey back in time, witnessing the magic of one of music’s greatest duos.
