In a new interview with CBS News<\/em><\/a>, Lennon acknowledged the trio\u2019s collective creative pursuit, the offers they have received to perform live and the overarching kinship that serves as the foundation for their second-generation musical relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When asked about a live union with McCartney and Starkey, the son of Yoko and John said: \u201cI think people ask for that a lot, but I do think that would be ridiculous. But you know, the reason Zak and James and I made a song together is not because we\u2019re trying to redo The Beatles, it\u2019s just because we like each other.\u201d<\/p>\n He continues his response, rejecting expectations placed on the shoulders of the greatest pop band\u2019s grown sons and the organic bond that makes for their brotherhood: \u201cWe\u2019re not gonna do it because of some expectation or to, like, fulfill anyone\u2019s expectation of what we should do. It has to be natural.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Notably, Lennon and McCartney\u2013the current-day writing partnership between the sons of the Beatles\u2013previously delivered a single in 2024. Titled \u201cPrimrose Hill,\u201d McCartney introduced the number via social media, adding it was a co-write with \u201cmy good friend\u201d Lennon. He suggested the potential for more music, writing, \u201cWith the release of this song it feels like we\u2019re really getting the ball rolling and I am so excited to continue to share music with you.\u201d Listen to 2024\u2019s \u201cPrimrose Hill\u201d and read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n In June, the trio previewed their track \u201cRip Off.\u201d \u00a0Clocking in at two minutes and 15 seconds, the song preview presented a sense of musical experimentation that can be sonically linked to their fathers\u2019 own late-60s outputs in association with their time in India by co-opting the use of chanting, dominated by lyrics that touch on the time, \u201cTime is gonna fuck you up\/ Time is gonna get ya\/ Time is got ya\u2026\u201d Read<\/a> our previous coverage. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
