When McCartney released "Coming Up", in 1980, the year Lennon returned to the studio and the last year of his life, he took notice.
Lennon je razkril, da sta med McCartneyjevim zadnjim obiskom aprila 1976 gledala epizodo oddaje "Saturday Night Live", v kateri je Lorne Michaels ponudil 3.000 $ za ponovno združitev Beatlov v oddaji.
