Accordingly MirrorSir Paul told the audience: ‘Ringo has never performed a duet with any of the Beatles.’

Ringo also confirmed he was making a song with Sir Paul on the Jimmy Kimmel show earlier this week.

He said: ‘It started two years ago with the drums, it was like the opposite happened, the drums played first. It’s fun and very real because that’s where we come from.’

It’s based on where they grew up in Liverpool, which Sir Paul describes as ‘a bit rough but it’s our home’.

Last month, the album’s first track, The Boys From Dungeon Lane, was released under the title Days We Left Behind and is expected to be fully released in May.

Days We Gone was unveiled on BBC Merseyside earlier this month, marking the first new music from the Beatles legend in five years.

It was announced with a new portrait and artwork taken by photographer daughter Mary McCartney (56).

The album brings back memories of his hometown of Liverpool, while also sharing ‘early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon, long before the world had heard of Beatlemania’.

Sir Paul, whose new record is his 18th studio album credited solely to himself, said of his new single: ‘It’s very much a memory song for me. The name of the album The Boys of Dungeon Lane comes from a lyric in this track…

‘I was just thinking about that, about the days I’ve left behind, and I often wonder if I’m just writing about the past, but then I think, how can you write about anything else?…

‘There are so many memories of Liverpool. It includes a bit halfway between John and Forthlin Road, the street where I used to live. Dungeon Lane is near there.

‘I lived in a very working-class town called Speke. ‘We didn’t have much, but it didn’t matter because all the people were wonderful and you didn’t realize you didn’t have much.’

The album has been described as: ‘With The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Paul McCartney turns the lens inward and revisits the formative years that shaped not only his own life but also the foundations of modern popular culture….

‘In a career defined by timeless storytelling and unforgettable characters, Paul now tells the most personal story – his own. ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane is his most introspective album yet and takes the listener back to where it all began.’

The songs also reference his days with his pre-Beatles bandmates: ‘These remarkable new songs find Paul in an intimate, vulnerable and reflective mood; He writes with rare clarity about his childhood in post-war Liverpool…

‘The resilience of his parents and the early adventures he shared with George Harrison and John Lennon, long before the world had heard of Beatlemania.

The octogenarian artist’s tight schedule meant that the album was recorded tightly and in sessions between legs of global tour dates spanning five years and ranging from Los Angeles to Sussex.

Boys of Dungeon Lane came to fruition five years ago when Paul met producer Andrew Watt for a cup of tea and brainstorming ideas.

Ahead of the final chapter of his legendary musical career, Sir Paul arrived in St. Louis with his wife Nancy, 66, last week. He was seen relaxing in Barts.

Paul and Nancy married in 2011 after meeting in 2007 and both have children from previous relationships.

Nancy shares son Arlen with ex-husband Bruce Blakeman; Paul has Stella, James, Heather and Mary from his late wife, Linda McCartney, and his 19-year-old daughter, Beatrice McCartney, and his ex-wife, Heather Mills, 55.

Paul met Nancy while on holiday in Morocco with his brother Mike, and the musician serenaded him at the hotel piano.

The Beatles star explained that they were not yet officially a couple when he made the move and were sleeping in separate bedrooms.

Paul explained: ‘The piano stood in the foyer all day, and because it wouldn’t stop raining I would sometimes go and linger on the keys.

‘I was thinking every loving thought towards Nancy, and as I stood at the piano I could see the waiters tidying up listening.

‘But it was beautiful and romantic, a perfect moment, and I thought to myself, we won’t be sleeping in separate rooms tonight.’

Paul had previously revealed that his enduring love affair with his wife was responsible for his unique dance moves.

In his book The Lyrics, the Beatles star explained how he knew he was a keeper when he matched Nancy’s energy on the dance floor.
