Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have reunited to record a duet that could be their final song together. Titled 'Home To Us', the track is a nostalgic reflection on growing up in Liverpool and will appear on McCartney's upcoming album.
The song features backing vocals from Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders and Sharleen Spiteri of Texas. McCartney revealed at a Los Angeles album preview that Starr initially played drums on the track before adding vocals, marking the first time the two have duetted as Beatles.
Starr confirmed the collaboration on the Jimmy Kimmel show, noting that the process began two years ago with drums recorded first. He described the song as 'amusing and very real because that is where we come from'.
The album, titled 'The Boys From Dungeon Lane', is set for release on May 29 via MPL/Capitol Records. It revisits McCartney's formative years in Liverpool, which he says shaped both his life and modern popular culture.
The first single, 'Days We Left Behind', was released last month. McCartney described it as a memory song, reflecting on his childhood in the Dungeon Lane area near the Mersey shoreline, now close to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
