A much-anticipated “new” Beatles record, created with the help of artificial intelligence, will be released next week on Nov 2, the two living former members of the British group, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, revealed Thursday (Oct 26).

Now And Then, first written and sung by ex-Beatle John Lennon and developed by the rest of the band, has now been finally finished by McCartney and Starr – and AI – decades after its original recording.
