'Now And Then is emotional because it's a John song'
Sir Paul admits it is "very emotional" to play new Beatles track Now And Then on his tour, as it is a "John song" and it feels wonderful to be singing with him.
Now And Then was released at the end of 2023, after a recording process that started in the late 1970s with a Lennon demo.
It ended in 2022 with Ringo Starr and Sir Paul finishing the song in the studio and it now has two Grammy nominations.
Sir Paul, 82, has been including Now And Then in all his Got Back world gigs.
He said: "It's really great. When you introduce a new song, even though it's an old song like Now And Then, the first reaction is people aren't quite sure what it is or what you're doing.
"But during the run of the concerts they get the idea. The word gets out on the internet.
"For us it's great to play because it's a nice song to play, and for me, it's particularly great because it's a John song. And so it's very emotional for me.
Homecoming
"I love it. I love doing it, and the audience seem to love it too." Sir Paul has just returned to the UK after being on the road since October with the Got Back Tour, going to South America and around Europe.
