A soulful and emotional version of one of the Fab Four’s absolute cream of the crop goes to show, even in lockdown, something beautiful can be created. Featuring the vocal talents of, amongst others, Avril Lavigne, Gary Cherone and John Bisha, there is also some scorching fretwork by Orianthi, Phil X and a particularly blistering Nuno Bettencourt, all adding up to a powerful brew that never puts ego in front of the cause.
The results are absolutely breathtaking and with so many superb musicians involved this is going to be something that lasts long after the lockdown has finished.
