Ringo Starr’s son, Zak Starkey, who also attended the red-carpet event, said the band remained “unbeatable”.
“It’s going to be great – I haven’t seen (the film) yet,” he said. “Remember, my dad was the greatest rock and roll drummer in the world. The music is great and it always will be great.”
Zak said he had not yet spoken about the documentary to his father but would do so when he had seen it.

Dhani, who was involved in the creation of the documentary, said Jackson had “really delivered”.
“(My father) was always bummed out that this was portrayed in bad light and they were always a bit sad about it and that’s why Peter has been given such a big crack at it,” “Sure, there were arguments, but what you’re going to see is way more of just a band squabbling, and it’s nice.
“(The documentary) creates a new dynamic, and anyone who gets to see the whole thing will see that the behaviour changes and they really come together.“He’d be very happy to see what Peter came out with.”
Dhani also admitted his own fashion sense was “not quite up to the level” of his father’s in the film.

Dhani also admitted his own fashion sense was “not quite up to the level” of his father’s in the film.
“He did have very cool outfits, I’m not quite up to his level of outfit. There were some pretty bizarre shirts,” he said.“At one point he puts a bow tie just around his neck without a shirt.
“(His fashion sense) was pretty awesome, balls to the wall – I don’t fit in his suits, I’m too fat.”

Paul told that watching the project brought back fond memories of his years in the band.
He said: 'I'll tell you what is really fabulous about it, it shows the four of us having a ball. It was so reaffirming for me. That was one of the important things about The Beatles, we could make each other laugh.'
Asked if watching the film changed his perception of The Beatles split in 1970, he said: 'Really yes. And there is proof in the footage. Because I definitely bought into the dark side of The Beatles breaking up and thought, 'God, I'm to blame.
'It's easy, when the climate is going that way, to think that. But at the back of my mind there was this idea that it wasn't like that. I just needed to see proof.'
The Beatles: Get Back will air as three separate episodes on Disney+ on November 25, 26, and 27.
