‘Last’ Beatles song set for release next week
AFP | London
A much-anticipated “new”
Beatles record, created with
the help of artificial intelligence,
will be released next week on
November 2, former band mem-
bers Paul McCartney and Ringo
Starr revealed Thursday.
“Now And Then”, first writ-
ten and sung by ex-Beatle John
Lennon and developed by the
rest of the band, has now been
finally finished by McCartney
and Starr -- and AI -- decades
after its original recording.
McCartney, 81, announced
its imminent release in June, in
what has been dubbed in a pro-
motional trailer “the last Beatles
song”.
The track will be unveiled at
1300 GMT on November 2 by
Apple Corps, Capitol and Uni-
versal Music Enterprises (UMe),
with a music video debuting the
following day.

Celebretainment | Los Angeles
J ennifer Garner has thanked
Reese Witherspoon for
pulling her through one of her
toughest times.
The 51-year-old ‘13 Going on
30’ actress, said as well as the
support from her film produc-
er friend, 47, she used dance
cardio to get through the rough
patch.
Jennifer – who has been
co-parenting the three children
she had with her ex-husband
Ben Affleck, 51, since they di-
vorced in 2018 – said during a
panel discussion at Hello Sun-
shine’s ‘Shine On’ event in Los
Angeles: “I think back to going
through a very public, very hard
moment in my life. (Reese) was
right there.”
Jennifer did not elaborate on
the details of the tough time or
mention her split from recover-
ing alcoholic Ben, with whom
she has daughters Violet, 17, and
Seraphina, 13, and 11-year-old
son Samuel.
But she added about using

“Now And Then” was record-
ed by Lennon in the late 1970s at
his home in New York’s Dakota
Building, and also features piano
music.
Working with Peter Jackson,
the film director behind the 2021
documentary series “The Bea-
tles: Get Back”, AI was used to
separate Lennon’s voice from
the piano chords.
‘Emotional’
“There it was, John’s voice,
crystal clear,” McCartney said,
in comments published along-
side the announcement of the
release date.
“It’s quite emotional and we
all play on it, it’s a genuine Bea-
tles recording,” he added.

Jennifer also used the pan-

BRAVE CF 78 headlined by inaugural Flyweight world title fight

TDT | Manama
B RAVE Combat Federation’s
much-anticipated return to
Brazil has a main event.
BRAVE
CF 78: Victorious takes place
in Fortaleza, on December 7,
in association with Victorious
Fighting Entertainment and will
feature a blockbuster inaugural
Flyweight title fight as Velimu-
rad Alkhasov and Edilceu Alves
renew MMA’s hottest rivalry in a
clash between Russia and Brazil.
The co-main event of BRAVE
CF 78 will feature a duel of top
Super Lightweights with Ger-
man-Brazilian Joilton Lutter-
bach taking on former BRAVE CF
world champion Luan Santiago.
Velimurad Alkhasov has the
chance to break the BRAVE CF
Flyweight curse, which start-
ed back in 2018 at BRAVE CF 18.
He faced and beat Marcel Adur
in a five-round fight, but was
unable to be crowned the first
125-pound BRAVE CF champion
due to missing weight.
The organization then pro-
duced an eight-man tournament,
in which Velimurad made it to
the final, after beating Brazil’s
Flavio de Queiroz and Ameri-
can wrestler Zach Makovsky.
However, Ali Bagautinov, the
other finalist, has been out on
compassionate leave and the or-
ganization has now moved on to
another title fight.
Enter Capoeira master Edil-
