He said in a new interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date, â??He was like the leader even though there wasnâ??t officially a leader of the group. And he was very witty, and he was great to have in the group. I think all of us might have said John was our favoriteâ??.

He continued, â??Iâ??ve got a song, â??When Iâ??m 64,â?? an old Beatles song, and I had this old lady come up to me once. She said, â??You know, I do one of your songs.â?? She said, â??I work at an old peopleâ??s homeâ??â??.
He further mentioned, "She said, â??I do one of your songs.â?? I said, â??Oh, yeah, but which one?â?? She said, 'When Iâ??m 64.' She said, â??But I had to change the words â??cause thatâ??s too young for my people. So, I had to change it to when Iâ??m 84â??â??.
As per â??Peopleâ??, The singer-songwriter released his 20th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, on Friday, May 29. The project features a duet with Ringo Starr titled â??Home to Usâ??.

The 83-year-old The Beatles icon discussed his late former bandmateâ??s 1971 peace anthem, as he reflected on his friendship and creative partnership with John while promoting his latest album and selecting 10 songs that shaped his life and career.
