Must-see TV: Larry King hosts reunion of Beatles, widows

A Beatles reunion of sorts is set for Tuesday on the CNN interview show Larry King Live, with the host interviewing former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison.

A Beatles reunion of sorts is set for Tuesday on the CNN interview show Larry King Live.

King is set to interview former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison — Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, respectively— on the night show.

The quartet will be joined by Cirque du Soleil founder and CEO Guy Laliberté for the interview, which will focus on the Cirque's Beatles-themed show Love now at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

The group will speak to King from the hotel's Revolution Lounge, where the show is set.

The interview is being touted as must-see TV for bringing together McCartney and Ono, who have reportedly clashed over the years about everything from changing the credits on Beatles songs to re-releasing Beatles material.

McCartney, Starr, Ono and Harrison were last seen together a year ago for the grand opening of Love.

The musical extravaganza, which features iconic producer George Martin's digitally remixed recordings of beloved and previously unheard Beatles tracks, is celebrating its first anniversary.

Love combines interviews, photo montages and footage from the Beatles' final concert with traditional Cirque performances including acrobats and dancers.

The show was reportedly the brainchild of George Harrison, who met Laliberté before his death in 2001. His widow then pursued the idea with Cirque de Soleil, eventually enlisting the input of McCartney, Starr and Ono.
