On Tuesday (August 19), The Beatles’ official Instagram account – and those of all four band members – sparked excitement and speculation among fans with a cryptic post featuring slides including each of the numbers, “1, 2, 3, 4,” illustrated with collage-style graphics of the band. The mysterious post has fueled rumors of a possible Anthology 4 release, which would mark the next installment in the Beatles’ renowned Anthology series of compilation albums that have included studio versions, unreleased songs, and bootlegs from throughout their career, alongside companion documentaries and books. Since the band’s Grammy-winning final single, “Now and Then,” was released in 2023, and the announcement of the forthcoming Sam Mendes film projects, such updates from the Beatles official social media channels are rare and significant, especially as the band’s website is also hinting at major news with a “Stay Tuned” message following the same numbered countdown. While details still remain unclear, fans eagerly await any new developments from the Fab Four. (Parade)
