James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon release joint single

Come Together! There is new music from the Lennon and McCartney partnership, but not as you might expect.
James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon - the sons of Beatles bandmates Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon - have co-written a song, titled Primrose Hill.
The reflective, acoustic ballad is an ode to the power of London's panoramic viewing spot in Regent's Park.
Announcing the release with his "good friend" on Friday, McCartney said the track left him feeling "excited".
"With the release of this song it feels like we're really getting the ball rolling," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"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," he added.
Sir Paul offered his fatherly support for the track by sharing it across his social media channels, as well as sending "lots of love to Sean Ono Lennon who co-wrote the song".
Ono Lennon is the younger son of the late John Lennon and artist Yoko Ono. James is Paul McCartney's son with his late first wife Linda McCartney.
The pair's collaboration adds to their numerous solo projects of varying success. Primrose Hill is McCartney's second release this year after returning with Beautiful in February, his first release since 2016. Ono Lennon has a string of solo records to his name, as well as performing with a host of bands including Cibo Matto, The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger, and The Lennon Claypool Delirium.
