Several musicians, including violist Caroline Buckman, were involved in the creation of the 'final' Beatles song, 'Now and Then,' without knowing its significance. The song was reconstructed from a John Lennon demo in the late 1970s, and completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr using tracks from 1995 and new parts from 2022. Tragically, Buckman died of cancer before learning about her contribution to the recording. The song's completion involved a new string-orchestra arrangement and backing vocals from Beatles' archives. Paul McCartney and others have expressed the significance of the song in the Beatles' legacy.
