Paul McCartney Confirms Ringo Starr Duet on New Album 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane'

The track marks a rare vocal pairing between the former bandmates.

Overview

  • At a private listening session in Los Angeles, McCartney told guests that the song Home to Us includes a duet with Ringo Starr.
  • He said Starr plays drums and trades vocal lines with him on the track, which several outlets described as the most Beatles-like cut on the album.
  • McCartney detailed a late, tangled process in which Starr first added a brief drum part and only sang the chorus before returning to finish both drums and vocals.
  • Reports also name Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri as guest singers on Home to Us, and the album is set for May 29 as McCartney’s first solo release since 2020.
  • The record leans on memories of post‑war Liverpool and early friendships, which helps explain why a McCartney–Starr duet is drawing heightened interest from Beatles fans.
