Beatles: fans will be able to climb onto the roof of Apple in London, the site of the band's last public performance

Starting in 2027, Beatles fans will be able to visit the famous 3 Savile Row in London for the first time — the historic home of Apple Corps and the site of the band's final public performance. The news was reported by the British magazine NME.

The Mayfair building holds a central place in the history of the Liverpool group: it housed some of Apple Corps' offices, the studio where "Let It Be" was recorded was set up here, and, above all, on January 30, 1969, it was the stage for the famous rooftop concert, later brought back into the spotlight by Peter Jackson's "Get Back" documentary.

The public opening will feature seven floors dedicated to the world of the Beatles, including previously unseen archival material, temporary exhibitions, an official store, and a recreation of the original studio used during the "Let It Be" sessions. Visitors will also be able to access the building's rooftop and retrace the site of the band's final live performance.

"Wow! It's like coming home," commented Ringo Starr. Paul McCartney also recalled his recent visit to the building with enthusiasm: "It was moving to go back to 3 Savile Row. There are so many special memories held within those walls, not to mention the rooftop."

Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene called the project a return to the company's "spiritual home": "Every day fans stop to take photos of 3 Savile Row. Starting next year, they'll finally be able to go in and explore all seven floors of the building, including the rooftop, where even the railings are still the same ones from 1969."

Speaking of the Beatles, a few days ago saw the release of the first official single credited to Paul McCartney–Ringo Starr. It's called "Home To Us". The track also features backing vocals from Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri. The song is the second single from "The Boys Of Dungeon Lane", McCartney's new album due out May 29th. Listen to "Home To Us" below.

On the album, where Paul McCartney plays most of the instruments himself, "Home To Us" is the only track to feature a guest drummer. The song actually grew out of a drum part recorded by Ringo Starr at the request of McCartney himself and producer Andrew Watt. Starr was initially only meant to sing a line or two, but the project eventually turned into a full-fledged duet between the two former Beatles. Discussing the single, McCartney explained: "In writing the song I talk about our origins. Like a lot of people, you start with nothing and build yourself up. Ringo came from the Dingle, a rough neighborhood. He told me that, coming home from work, he'd often get mugged. It was a crazy life, but that was home to us."

"The Boys Of Dungeon Lane" will be McCartney's first solo album in over five years. The record is being presented as one of the most autobiographical and introspective works of his career, focusing on the years of his personal and musical formation before the explosion of Beatlemania, amid family memories and his first experiences with John Lennon and George Harrison.
