One of the most famous musical groups in history is the focus of plans to resurrect the band for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, The Sun reports.

The group is the Beatles, and even though only two of the four Beatles are still around, organizers hope to have an updated version of the group in the lineup for the opening ceremony.

Sir Paul McCartney has already been approached to perform at the international event, and according to an insider, McCartney is interested in appearing and performing Beatles music.

It’s less clear what Ringo Starr, the other surviving Beatle, thinks of the idea, but organizers reportedly are trying to get him.

To represent the late George Harrison and John Lennon, their sons may be drafted, the story reports.

I hope they don't call themselves, The Beatles, because that would be the biggest misrepresentation in the history of music.

Paul and Ringo have played together several times in the 40 years since The Beatles split. They've been on each other's albums, they've appeared together in concert... they even co-starred in a (terrible) movie. This wouldn't be as big a deal as the article makes it out to be, even if they do get John and George's kids.

But I agree with the statement above: if it does happen, they really shouldn't call it The Beatles.

I like the Beatles but I say why bother. Get someone else. Someone who is around and playing.
