This is a bad idea. What would they do? If they do original music, Sean Lennon bombed with his music, Dhani Harrison has only worked on his father's music, James McCartney has no track record with music, and Jason Starkey only played in Ringo's band maybe a couple of times and hasn't even made a name for himself, let alone public pictures.

So, do they make money being the Beatles kids? If they sound like the Beatles it will make a ton of money for them. Lonely existence if you ask me, making a ton of money being your Dad. I think when none of these kids have anything going for them so they will cash in their name. The only smart one of the bunch. Zac Starkey, one of Ringo's kids who said getting the Beatle kids together is a bad idea.This is the same man that was asked to join THE WHO, and turned it down because they were calling him Ringo's kid.

Paul's son, 34-year-old singer/songwriter James McCartney, told the BBC that he'd be up for forming a band with some other musically inclined Scions of the Fabs. The group could be called "The Beatles—The Next Generation," the BBC interview helpfully suggested. James even suggested that he'd had discussions with other Beatle offspring that could result in a quorum…. with one major holdout to contend with.

"I don't think it's something that Zak wants to do," said McCartney, referring to Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey, a highly successful drummer. "Maybe Jason would want to do it," he added, throwing the name of a lesser-known Starr offspring into the mix. "I'd be up for it. Sean (Lennon) seemed to be into it, Dhani (Harrison) seemed to be into it. I'd be happy to do it."

 

What about Julian Lennon? Julian has made it clear he wants to make a living off his own name, plus he and Sean aren't that good of friends. Julian has his own track record, as does Sean and Dhani.

Here's videos of all the Beatles kids, you be the judge.
