Washington
(ANI):
British
musician
Pete
Best,
who
is
best
known
as
the
original
drummer
of
the
Beatles,
is
hoping
to
reunite
with
his
former
band
mate
Paul
McCartney.
Best,
who
had
joined
the
Beatles
from
1960
to
1962
before
Ringo
Starr
replaced
him,
wants
to
meet
up
with
McCartney,
as
he
hasn't
seen
the
star
for
over
40
years
and
further
hopes
to
revive
their
old
friendship.
The
66-year-old
musician
says
that
he
was
good
friends
with
all
the
band
members
before
his
exodus.
"I
would
like
to
see
Paul
one
more
time
in
my
life,
just
to
catch
up.
Talk
about
our
kids
and
grandkids,
compare
notes
on
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
going," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
"It
was
Paul
who
actually
talked
the
others
into
letting
me
into
the
band
because
he
thought
I
was
a
good
fit
-
and
they
couldn't
find
another
decent
drummer
at
the
time.
"You
know,
as
old
friends
go,
people
move
in
their
own
directions
and
you
lose
touch.
We
were
kids
back
when
we
really
hung
out," Best
added
