Sons of The Beatles

In an interview with a BBC reporter, James McCartney, son of Paul McCartney, contemplated the possibility of forming a band with other sons of The Beatles. Here is the question of reporter, Ian Youngser and James' response:

Q. What would you say to forming The Beatles - The Next Generation, with Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey [Ringo Starr's son]?
"I don't think it's something that Zak wants to do. Maybe Jason [another of Starr's sons and also drummer] would want to do it. I'd be up for it. Sean seemed to be into it, Dhani seemed to be into it. I'd be happy to do it." James McCartney

Of course, James' response led to over the top headlines around the world and eventually a bit of a reality check from Ringo, who said, 'as far as I know, neither of my two sons will be in it'. As unlikely as such a scenario is, it is not completely absurd as John, Paul, George and Ringo all fathered some very talented children and it just so happens all the sons are talented musicians.

Here are some of my favourite songs from Julian Lennon, Sean Lennon, James McCartney and Dhani Harrison. Ringo also has two sons who are both drummers. Zac Starkey, is particularly accomplished, having played on an ongoing basis with The Who and as the third drummer of Oasis.

Saltwater - Julian Lennon

Queue - Sean Lennon

Thinking About Rock & Roll - James McCartney

And here's a little bit of Zac Starkey doing his thing with The Who...

Here's a James McCartney track with Dhani on guitar. It's the closest thing we have yet to the 'Sons of the Beatles' actually forming...

Here's Sean singing a beautiful song about his father...

And here's James singing I Love You Dad...

And finally, here is Ringo Starr, stating that his sons won't be getting together to form a band with the other Beatles sons...
