Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr Reunite For New Collaboration

Paul McCartney has confirmed Ringo Starr will appear on his upcoming album The Boys of Dungeon Lane, featuring their duet "Home to Us." The collaboration was revealed during a listening session at producer Andrew Watt's Los Angeles studio on April 16th. McCartney explained how Starr initially came to play drums but misunderstandings arose between Starr and Watt, leaving Ringo "a bit pissed." McCartney transformed Starr's contribution into a song about growing up in Liverpool. More confusion followed when McCartney sent the demo to Starr, who only recorded chorus vocals, making McCartney think he disliked the song. They cleared the air and Starr returned to add more drums. The track also features backing vocals from Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders and Texas' Sharleen Spiteri, with Starr and McCartney trading vocals "line by line." The Boys Of Dungeon Lane releases May 29th.
