Variety has suggested the upcoming album by The Rolling Stones may included appearances from the sole surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Now if this story was in a News Corp or Daily Mail publication you could disregard it immediately but the Variety article was written by Shirley Halperin who is one of the real, credible writers in America. Shirley is always well-researched and always has reliable sources. If Shirley Halperin is saying this is true, I’d say its right on the money.
The Beatles and Stones have collaborated in the past but it has been remarkably rare.
