But recently, new evidence has surfaced that shed light on what really took place back in 1970 when the biggest band in the world called it quits. historian and Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn has uncovered a recording of a band meeting where McCartney brings up plans for a follow-up album to Abbey Road.

“The books have always told us that they knew Abbey Road was their last album and they wanted to go out on an artistic high,” Lewisohn said in an interview to The Guardian last month. “But no – they’re discussing the next album.”

And now we have additional confirmation from drummer Ringo Starr, who spoke with BBC 6. Starr said: “We did do Abbey Road and we was like, ‘Okay that’s pretty good…but none of us said, ‘OK, that’s the last time we’ll ever play together’. Nobody said that. I never felt that.

“So it was not the end – because in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make,” Starr quoted the song “The End” which seals Abbey Road.

“Grow Old with Me” was recorded as a demo by Lennon in 1980, and was later released as a part of his posthumous album Milk and Honey. Remaining members of the Beatles later tried to work on some of Lennon’s unfinished songs, but this was never one of them.

While discussing the new version of this song, Ringo Starr admitted that he still wells up when he thinks of Lennon, and he did his best to do him justice alongside McCartney.

“The other good thing is that I really wanted Paul to play on it, and he said yes. Paul came over and he played bass and sings a little bit on this with me. So John’s on it in a way. I’m on it and Paul’s on it. It’s not a publicity stunt. This is just what I wanted,” said Starr in a statement.

“Grow Old with Me” will be featured on Starr’s 20th studio album What’s My Name, scheduled to be released on October 25th.

“We’ve got a surprise for us, a surprise for you, a surprise for everyone,” McCartney announced to fans at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday. “Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, Ringo Starr!”

“Ready to rock?” McCartney asked as Starr got behind a drum kit. The former bandmates performed “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” and  “Helter Skelter” much to the crowd’s delight. 

The two then hugged it out center stage and exchanged thank you’s. 

“Thank you, Paul,” Starr said. “It’s been a thrill for me, and I’ve had a lovely night, and it’s a great show, and I love you, man.” “And I love you, man,” McCartney said, adding Ringo’s catchphrase: “Peace and love, Ringo — forever.”
