Last night the 80 year old Beatles member released a new track called “Here’s to the Nights”, which will appear on his forthcoming EP titled Zoom In. Get it? …Zoom in. Quarantine Joke. Anyway, Starr wasn’t alone for this one. The single has a whopping 13 guest features including Paul McCartney (of course), FINNEAS, Joe Walsh, Dave Grohl, Lenny Kravitz, and many more. In a statement Starr said, “This is the kind of song we all want to sing along to, and it was so great how many wonderful musicians joined in.”
