Sir Paul McCartney to buy back Beatles rights
Sir Paul McCartney is to get his hands back on the rights to The Beatles’ back catalogue of songs - which he lost 21 years ago to Michael Jackson back in 1985.
Now the former Beatle has learned the rights to many of the songs, which include ‘Come Together’ and ‘Getting Better’, are set to return to him automatically.

Sir Paul McCartney said:
“In about 10 years a lot of the back catalogue returns to me, just legally. Some of the important rights are about to return which I didn’t realise.”
You know what doesn’t feel very good is going on tour and paying to sing all my songs. Every time I sing ‘Hey Jude’ I’ve got to pay someone.
