🥁 Good News: Beatles’ Original Drummer Pete Best Announces Solo Album & Joins David Gilmour on Farewell Tour👇👇👇
In a thrilling and unexpected development for rock enthusiasts, Pete Best, the original drummer of The Beatles, has officially announced the release of a brand-new solo album, marking a powerful return to the music scene — and a symbolic full-circle moment in rock history.
Titled “Timekeeper”, the album is said to blend classic Merseybeat vibes with modern rock tones, featuring original compositions and collaborations with several iconic musicians. Best, often regarded as “The Fifth Beatle” for his early contributions to the Fab Four, described the album as “a tribute to resilience, rhythm, and the road not taken.”
Even more exciting for fans is the announcement that Pete Best will be joining legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour on selected dates of Gilmour’s farewell world tour, a monumental event titled “Echoes & Farewell.” The tour is expected to feature both artists performing solo material and paying homage to their historic roots with specially arranged sets.
Speaking at a press event in London, Best shared, “This isn’t about rewriting history. It’s about celebrating life after it — and making music because I still love every beat of it.”
Best’s journey from Beatles beginnings to a quiet life away from the spotlight has always fascinated fans, and this comeback is being met with overwhelming support. Early previews of Timekeeper reveal tight percussion work, melodic storytelling, and a reflective tone that shows Best is not just revisiting the past — he’s defining a new chapter.
