There’ve been rumours of a Beatles-themed Guitar Hero ever since comments earlier this year by Sony/ATV Music Publishing boss Marin Bandier, but it seems it’s edging closer to reality. The FT reports that Beatles representatives are actually in talks with both Activision and MTV Games – the publishers of Guitar Hero and Rock Band respectively – over some form of licensing deal worth several million dollars. The report suggests it could be agreed in a matter of weeks, although it would require buy-in from Apple Corps and EMI, which owns the Beatles master recordings.
