Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney Deny Using AI for John Lennon's Voice in 'Now and Then'

The Beatles' final song features Lennon's original vocals separated from instruments using AI, not a recreation of his voice.

Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney have denied using AI to recreate John Lennon's voice for their newly released Beatles song 'Now and Then'.
The song was an unfinished track from Lennon, with Starr and McCartney adding new guitar and drum tracks, along with string arrangements.
AI was used to separate Lennon's vocals from the instrumentals of a lower-quality cassette recording, not to generate his voice.
The song 'Now and Then' marks the final release from The Beatles, and is seen as a way to 'finally close that door'.
The technology used to separate Lennon's vocals was developed during the production of the Disney+ documentary Get Back.
