The former Beatles bandmates last collaborated on Starr’s 2010 album ‘Y Not’. McCartney played bass on the song ‘Peace Dream’ and contributed vocals to the song ‘Walk With You’.
McCartney, Starr, Walsh, Dave Grohl and Tom Hanks had all gone for dinner together in Santa Monica, California last week.
Meanwhile, McCartney recently shared a rare and previously unreleased demo of his track ‘Twenty Fine Fingers’.
The song was featured on the Beatle’s 1989 album, ‘Flowers In The Dirt’. McCartney co-wrote four of the record’s 12 tracks with Elvis Costello. The album also featured contributions from George Martin and David Gilmour.
Costello also helped him to write ‘Twenty Fine Fingers’ and appears on this recording. As Consequence Of Sound reports, the track was previously only available on bootleg albums under the incorrect title ‘Twenty-Five Fingers’
A deluxe edition of ‘Flowers In The Dirt’ will be released on March 24. It has been remastered and will be available as a double CD, double LP or deluxe box set.
