London, September 13 (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney has said that the Beatles were planning to reunite before John Lennon was shot dead in 1980.

The singer admitted that though they were set to receive huge offers yet they believed it wouldn’t be as big as the 60’s.

“We talked about it a lot. And we always said that, if we did, it might not be great, whereas the Beatles career had been,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“And even though the offers were huge, and there were sort of people going, ‘I’ll pay you this to do it,’ we talked about it and we sort of said, ‘Nah, this is it. There is something not right about it’ ,” he added.

McCartney believes they were an amazing band.

He added: “Looking back, you know, I’m a big Beatles fan. I think we were one hot band. And Ringo and I, whenever we get together, we look at each other and just go, ‘We were a damn good group. Great band’.”

McCartney was present with Ringo Starr, John’s widow Yoko Ono and George Harrison’s widow Olivia at the launch of The Beatles: Rock Band computer game and the new digitally remastered catalogue of albums.

He spoke about the game: “I think it’s really good. They have done really well in capturing our characters, which is one of the things we were careful about.

“We were very careful. We’d say, ‘Well, George wouldn’t move like that, Ringo didn’t drum like that, I would have had the guitar that way’

“The guys who made it started saying, ‘Well, we can do this and we can take you through your career, and we can start at The Cavern, then we do this and we get into the psychedelic period’.” (ANI)
