He also collaborated with his mother on a track titled "The Light Comes From Within" before her unfortunate passing from breast cancer in 1998. In 2010, the 45-year-old released his debut single, "Available Light," marking the beginning of his solo career. He followed it up with his first album, Me, in 2013, and his second album, The Blackberry Train, in 2016, both of which were co-produced by his father. LOS ANGELES - FEB 10: James McCartney arrives at the 2012 MusiCares Gala honoring Paul McCartney at LA Convention Center on February 10, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA However, in a previous interview with BBC, James stated that his ambition was to be "better than the Beatles" and also shared his idea of potentially forming a musical group that would include the offspring of the members of the Beatles, which will include Jason Starkey, the son of Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon, the youngest son of John Lennon, and Dhani Harrison, the only son of George Harrison. "When I got to a certain age, I realized that I was somewhat better than other kids at school at guitar and took pride and enjoyment in that," he confessed to the news outlet in 2012. "I then dreamt of being better than The Beatles. I'm not sure if I can do that. If anything, I would love to be equal to The Beatles - but even that's quite tough."
