Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey was nervous about a Beatles’ kids collaboration.
Zak has teamed up with John Lennon’s son Sean Lennon and James McCartney, whose father is Sir Paul McCartney, on new song ‘Rip Off’ but he admitted it is something he has avoided for years because he was worried about being “judged”.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “The Beatles kids thing is something I’ve avoided because it’s something we will be judged on for ever.
“I thought it was a daft idea. But I’ve got to know James well over the last decade and Sean over the last five years and we have become great friends.
“Their music is great.
“I had a track called ‘Rip Off’ and as we were communicating a lot I asked them to contribute.
“We were nervous in case there was no chemistry but there was loads and it sounded great.
“James’ voice is so powerful it nearly blew me off my seat.”
While children of three of the four Beatles stars are represented on the track, Zak insisted George Harrison’s son Dhani Harrison did not mind being left out.
He shared: “I explained that after Sean and James’ contribution the musical table was full and that nothing weird or personal was going down.
“He got it and it’s all cool. He’s got his own great record out at the moment, too.”
