This year’s been full of meaningful anniversaries for the extended Beatles family, with the band turning 64 and Paul McCartney just celebrating his 82nd birthday on June 18. Just in time for the occasion, former Beatles drummer Pete Best reached out to McCartney with a birthday message and a proposal for a reunion of epic proportions. McCartney, along with John Lennon and George Harrison had been a functional trio since 1958 and went through a series of drummers to find their fourth missing piece, One of them was Pete Best, though by ‘62, Ringo Starr would ultimately fill that final role. However, Best, also 82, wanted to reconnect with his roots and pitched some collaboration ideas for McCartney’s consideration.

Now that would be something.” In the comments, fans had plenty of opinions to share on the idea of such a collaboration. One called it “a reunion for the ages.” Another proposed, “Paul should play the drums while you sing Pinwheel Twist, Pete!” Others had some different sentiments to his suggestion. “If I were you, Mr. Best, I would live peacefully with this,” one Twitter user suggested. “You have your place in history and continue to be a legend for many fans and rock music enthusiasts.” Others were content to make lyric references. The fifth Beatle After Pete Best proposed a reunion with former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney on his 82nd birthday, fans offered up their opinions / Twitter For most of his life, Best has lived with the moniker of the fifth Beatle, having been dismissed from the band just on the eve of its leap into stardom. Ahead of a September 1962 recording session, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison learned that sound engineers preferred replacing Best with a session drummer. This prompted the bandmates to decide they could probably just let Best go altogether. Group manager Brian Epstein was not a fan of this decision, primarily because by that point, the Beatles were starting to find their footing and had become a cohesive personality that fans could follow. Epstein bid “the Beatles to leave the group as it was.” The management team also especially appreciated Best’s charisma, which made him a significant asset at shows, drawing in fans with his easy charm. The fifth Beatle, Pete Best / Wikipedia However, Best’s drumming was not of the same caliber. The remaining Beatles insisted that they needed to consider who would play the drums the best for record production. Despite the name, the answer wasn’t Best, and so he was dismissed. Best’s luck ran out after that, as the groups he worked with never secured commercial success, and for 20 years, Best simply focused on working as a civil servant before starting up the Pete Best Band. To this day, though, Best still has his devoted fans. In the reply section of his proposal to McCartney, Best has received supportive responses like “For those who have said for Pete to ‘get over it….PETE HAS GOTTEN OVER IT. Pete, you have lived your life with grace and dignity after such heartbreaking split. I so respect you for that.” Was Best’s comment out of pocket or something that is way past happening already?

At the ongoing CineEurope in Barcelona, Spain, Universal released a five minute clip from the late Michael Jackson’s upcoming biopic Michael, which stars his nephew Jafaat Jackson as his youthful self. The teaser presented by the film producer, Graham King, showed the behind the scenes of “Thriller,” which was one of Jackson’s many hits. Graham revealed that the much-anticipated project has been in the works for many years, while director Antoine Fuqua is working tirelessly to edit the already-filmed movie. Fuqua previously gushed about Jaafar’s performance, which many fans cannot wait to watch as he shares an uncanny resemblance with the pop legend. Check out the latest footage from new Michael Jackson biopic Michael promises to portray Jackson’s life beyond the spotlight, revealing his “human side and personal struggles” amid his triumphs and tragedies while delivering the most iconic music and performances of all time. Aside from Jafaar, the movie features Colman Domingo as his father, Joe Jackson, alongside Nia Long as Katherine Jackson. Juliano Krue Valdi plays young Michael, and Miles Teller plays lawyer John Branca. RELATED: Michael Jackson’s Neverland Theme Park Is Getting Rebuilt Ahead Of Upcoming Biopic The first picture from the film showing Jaafar was a recreation of one of Jackson’s poses during his early ‘90s Dangerous Tour, which was captured by Kevin Mazur. He wore a white V-neck top underneath a matching collared shirt with black pants as he sang passionately into a microphone. Jaafar looked no different from the king of Pop, who looked gorgeous in his lush dark curls. Instagram So far, Fuqua (the son of Michael’s older brother Jermaine) has been impressed by Jaafar and has been expressive about his commendations. Jaafar’s father sang and performed with young Jackson as a member of the Jackson 5 before the latter’s solo career skyrocketed. Fuqua gushed about Jaafar being just like Michael in nearly everything including looks, demeanor and behavior. Instagram Jaafar himself has been pumped about his role, teasing on his social media with snaps from the set. Like his famous late uncle, the 27-year-old is a dancer and singer. His career took off in 2019 with his debut single, “Got Me Singing.” He also enjoys singing and looks forward to becoming a professional golf player someday.
