Pete Best, the first drummer for The Beatles is still hoping for a reunion with Sir Paul McCartney, his former bandmate he hasn’t seen for over 40 years. Best was replaced by Ringo Starr in 1962.

Best hopes that he and Macca will be able to revive their friendship one day because he believes they were good friends before being cut from the Fab Four. He explained:

“I would like to see Paul one more time in my life, just to catch up. Talk about our kids and grandkids, compare notes on where we’ve been and where we’re going. It was Paul who actually talked the others into letting me into the band because he thought I was a good fit - and they couldn’t find another decent drummer at the time. You know, as old friends go, people move in their own directions and you lose touch. We were kids back when we really hung out.”

So much time has passed and it might be too weird to become friends again, but it might be nice to see them meet again and reminisce about the good old days.
