Now The Beatles video game

George Harrison`s son Dhani has managed ‘The Beatles: Rock band’ video game.

London, March 15: The late Beatle George Harrison`s son Dhani has managed to convince the surviving band members of the legendary group to agree on a new project, which is ‘The Beatles: Rock band’ video game.Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have been reluctant to allow their music to be used for commercial endeavours, but were won over by a mock-up Harrison Jr put together using his father`s solo music, a website reported.

McCartney, Starr and John Lennon`s widow Yoko Ono gave the concept a thumbs-up and Dhani has landed a job helping to develop the game alongside Giles Martin, the son of the band`s long time producer Sir George Martin. The game will hit the stores globally in September this year and will be available for video game consoles Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii respectively. It will come with a limited number of instruments that are modelled after guitars, basses and drums used by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr. IANS
