Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Reflect on ‘Special’ Bond as Only Living Beatles
As the only surviving members of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr continue to share a deep connection shaped by decades of music, friendship, and history. In recent interviews, both have opened up about the unique bond they’ve maintained since the band’s early days in Liverpool.
“There’s something unspoken between us,” McCartney said. “We’ve been through so much—unimaginable highs and painful losses. Ringo is like a brother to me. When we play together, there’s a natural chemistry that takes over, like no time has passed.”
Starr echoed the sentiment, highlighting the rare connection they share. “Paul and I are the only ones left who were there for all of it. We don’t have to explain things to each other—we just know. That’s what makes it so special.”
The two have remained close over the years, often collaborating on projects and supporting each other’s solo work. In 2023, they released a new Beatles song, *Now and Then*, using AI to restore John Lennon’s vocals—an emotional moment that brought the two closer.
“It felt like the four of us were together again, in a way,” Ringo shared. “And doing that with Paul made it even more meaningful.”
While time has passed and The Beatles are long gone as a band, their legacy lives on through McCartney and Starr’s continued camaraderie and love for music. For fans, seeing them together—onstage or off—offers a glimpse of the enduring spirit that defined one of the most influential bands in history.
“We know how lucky we are,” Paul said. “To still be here, to still make music, and to have that bond—it’s a beautiful thing.”
