John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s Sons Collaborated on a Brand New Song

 

 

John Lennon and Paul McCartney co-wrote some of the most famous songs of the 20th century. Sadly, their collaboration came to an end with the dissolution of The Beatles and Lennon’s later passing. Now, almost 55 years after they wrote their final song together, their respective sons, Sean Ono Lennon and James McCartney, have come together to write a brand new single titled “Primrose Hill.”

The younger McCartney celebrated the collaboration by sharing a selfie with Ono Lennon—proving to be a testament to their striking resemblance to their fathers. “Today I am so very excited to share my latest song co-written by my good friend Sean Ono Lennon,” McCartney writes. “With the release of this song it feels like we’re really getting the ball rolling and I am so excited to continue to share music with you.”

The acoustic ballad is the second song McCartney has put out this year. The guitar-driven song was inspired by a memory of yesteryear. “I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summers day,” McCartney wrote on Instagram. “Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.” His father Paul promoted it on social media, sending “lots of love” to Ono Lennon.

Both the younger Lennon and McCartney have tried their hand at music as songwriters, performers, and producers. “It’s hard to live up to the Beatles,” McCartney said in a 2013 interview with the Daily Mail. “When Wings toured they got slated. Even Dad found it hard living up to the Beatles. I started out playing under an alias because I wanted to start quietly. I had to serve my time as a musician and wait until I had a good body of songs and for a time when both myself and my music were ready. I don’t want to sit around. I want to earn my own living.”

While McCartney put out two full-length albums in 2013 and 2016, Ono Lennon has collaborated with musicians like Albert Hammond Jr., Soulfly, Mark Ronson, and Jurassic 5, as well as trying his hand at film scoring and releasing solo work. However, they are not the only ones to follow their father’s steps. Ringo Starr’s son, Zak Starkey, is a prodigious drummer who has played alongside The Who, Oasis, and Johnny Marr.

When “going home” becomes more than a lyric — it becomes a legacy. Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, two New Jersey legends, turned “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” into a powerful, emotional moment on stage. More than just a performance, it was a celebration of friendship, shared roots, and decades of musical history. When two iconic voices come together, the crowd is reminded that no matter how far you go, rock ’n’ roll always knows the way home.

“George must be here somewhere… just not on stage.” Paul McCartney stands beneath the lights, bass in hand. No wave. No smile for the crowd. Below him, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne sit frozen, looking up as if listening for a voice they already know by heart. While My Guitar Gently Weeps begins, but no one is performing. The man onstage isn’t trying to shine. The men in the audience aren’t rushing to applaud. This moment isn’t for the room — it’s for someone who’s missing. Three friends, in different places, sharing the same absence: George Harrison.

HE SAT BEHIND THE DRUM KIT AND ROBERT PLANT COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES. Twenty-seven years had passed since John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin had vowed never to reunite because “no one could replace Bonzo.” But at the O2 Arena that night, the vow was broken in the most emotional way possible. When the lights hit the drum riser, the person sitting there wasn’t John, but Jason – his son. Jason was the spitting image of his dad, from that slightly hunched posture to the sheer power of his grip on the sticks. When the first thunderous beats of “Kashmir” rang out, Robert Plant turned to look. For a split second, the legendary golden-haired frontman was stunned. His eyes welled up with tears. It was like seeing his dearest friend brought back to life in the form of his son. It wasn’t just music; it was bloodline, a painful yet glorious legacy. But the thing that moved Robert Plant the most was the moment the song ended, when Jason made a small gesture toward his dad up above…

“Barry won’t last.” That was the quiet verdict a producer once gave when a young Barry Gibb, thin and determined, carried little more than a guitar and an oversized dream. Yet time proved otherwise. Barry didn’t just survive the music industry — he reshaped it. From countless rejections to global success, selling more than 300 million records, his story remains one of resilience and reinvention. His falsetto was once a target of ridicule, his style dismissed as unlikely, but Barry transformed every criticism into creative fire. The songs he wrote became timeless anthems, echoing across decades and generations. In a rare, heartfelt interview, Barry admitted, “I’ve spent my entire life proving that inner voice right — and I still am.” His legacy endures, not only in records sold but in the haunting beauty of a voice and spirit that refused to fade, living forever through music.

Introduction: “Barry will never make it.” Those words, casually muttered by a producer, once trailed behind a lanky…
