London [UK], May 12: The London rooftop where The Beatles played their final impromptu gig will be immortalised by a new dedicated to the band which is due to open next year.
"The Beatles at 3 Savile Row" will give music fans the chance to explore the building where "Let It Be" was recorded, with the former headquarters of their record company Apple Corps Ltd to be converted into a shrine to the band.
Formed in Liverpool in 1960, The Beatles sold more than 600 million records worldwide, capturing the cultural upheaval of the era, influencing generations of artists and creating a musical legacy that endures to this day.
In 1969, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr played what out to be their farewell gig, performing "Get Back" and a number of other songs before the police arrived and told them to turn down the volume.
"There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop," McCartney said in a statement on Monday.
As well as a recreation of the original studio where "Let It Be" was recorded, there will be material from Apple Corps' archives and exhibitions, allowing fans to set foot in the building which forms part of their London story.
"Wow, it's like coming home," Starr said in the statement.
