Alan G. Parker's It Was Fifty Years Ago Today! The Beatles: Sgt Pepper & Beyond investigates the year that culminated in the release of arguably their masterpiece (although maybe you prefer Abbey Road, Revolver, Help!, etc).

The movie follows John, Paul, George and Ringo from when they decided to quit performing and touring in August 1966, in order to fully experiment in the recording studio in the guise of a new alter ego and to embrace London's summer of love.

Former Beatles drummer Pete Best and Buzzcocks guitarist/Beatles mega-fan Steve Diggle committed their memories to camera but the star of the show is band manager Brian Epstein's secretary at the time Barbara O'Donnell.

Check out a clip below.

So hot, in fact, that it was named Mistajam's Hottest Record in the world.

The new remix track by the artist, also known by his full name Francis Farewell Starlite (not we're not sure it's his real name either) features an appearance by Chance the Rapper.

The song was first featured on his debut album release last year.

Francis revealed his modest aim is to make music for the ages.

"I love it when I hear a track and it came out like fifty years ago and you could tell me it came out today, or 20 years from now, I find that idea very inspiring."

Read the letter in full below:

To My Sweet Christopher,

You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through.

You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn’t be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life. Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I’m sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night. I’m sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.

I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.

I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will.

Always and forever,Your Vicky

“I don’t know what I would feel or how I would react. I mean, I’m pretty upset about it now, but if it was your fans... "

He added: "First thing I did when I got up was text my friends in Manchester. But bar a couple of friends of friends who were in hospital and two very close shaves, all the people that I know didn’t get involved in it or weren’t caught up in it - so it was lucky in that sense.

“But you know, I think this particular atrocity will take quite a while to heal.”

Earlier this week Noel posted a picture of a keyring, external saying 'I ♥️ Manchester' on social media, alongside the caption "No words".

Last month, he told comedian Russell Brand, external that his forthcoming third 'solo' album was scheduled in for a November release.
