McCartney Changes Tune on Reunion

Paul McCartney is singing a slightly different tune now about a possible Beatles reunion.

When McCartney suggested last month in Los Angeles that he, George Harrison and Ringo Starr might come together for a reunion, Harrison responded that there wouldn’t be one “as long as John Lennon remains dead.”

McCartney said Thursday he understood. But he still held out hope for a reunion.

“There can’t be a Beatles reunion because John died,” McCartney told a news conference before his concert at the SkyDome.

“And I don’t think any of us would be interested in substituting someone for John, even (his son) Julian, which has been suggested. But there is a film we might get around to in a couple of years that we’ve been meaning to do, and there might possibly be some involvement there where we play together.”

He said the group wouldn’t call it a Beatles reunion, but the media probably would.
