Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has set the record straight, emphasizing that the forthcoming "last Beatles record" set to release this year will not feature artificially generated vocals of the late John Lennon.
In an upcoming episode of the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, Starr asserts that the band would never resort to using AI to simulate Lennon's voice.
Additionally, he confirmed that the farewell record will
include vocals from Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison, recorded prior
to his passing in 2001. Starr describes it as the final track with all four
members and stands by this statement.
Earlier, Paul McCartney had
revealed that AI technology was employed to extract Lennon's voice from an
old demo for the creation of an upcoming Beatles song.
McCartney explained that during the production of director
Peter Jackson's documentary series "The Beatles: Get Back," AI was utilized
to separate the band members' voices from background sounds.
The
technology allowed them to isolate John's voice and remix the record
accordingly. McCartney expressed a mix of apprehension and excitement
regarding AI, acknowledging its potential while noting the need to see where
it leads.
Ringo Starr also dismissed any plans for a memoir,
affirming his dedication to continue drumming instead.
