At 82, Paul McCartney FINALLY Reveals Who Really Broke Up The Beatles

It was time. They had done and achieved it all. I'm just glad I was able to experience it. We'll never see anything like it again. 100 years from now, people will still be listening to the Beatles! What an amazing legacy.

I think there is not only one reasonn for the breakup. It's a sum of many reasons. They were very young at the beginning of their career and each one of them developed in a different direction. I am so thankful we got the Beatles. But I am also very thankful for their solo careers that brought us such great musical highlights as well ❤. So sad because of the death of John and George 😢 (and Linda 💔😢). The Beatles will always be my favourite band 🥰

I think they truly loved each other but John & Paul couldn't both be the boss. When John steered more towards Yoko's persuasion (she was a junkie), Paul dove into "something new". George just kept creating serious music & Ringo was ready for anything. They had to grow up & they grew apart. I lived thru this period & was intensively involved in their music, especially Abbey Road. I will never stop loving the artistry of The Beatles. Even at age 71, I look forward to more.

I do not think anyone was to blame, no matter what the surviving members say! The Bealtles reached the end of the road! They needed to go their own way. Sad for fans, but we all had the memories😊😊😊😊😊I loved being in that era, saw them live quite a few times! ❤❤❤I really miss those we have lost❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤

There will never be another like the Beatles ever again!

Paul made it possible sensing that john is no longer interested.

I had all those 45’s. Wish I had them now.😮

Ringo said if it weren't for Paul (the workaholic) they would have never made all the music. He is a gifted musician and song writer. He has been blessed with long life!

You couldn't bottle up that much creativity and talent. It was inevitable for them to reach their highest potential.

If only they could have kept the Beatles together while exploring solo career's. Thats what they actually wanted but management and money got in the way. Its amazing Paul kept them going after Brians premature death in 1967. They put out a hell of alot of great material after '67

Ringo said Paul was behind the prolific work behind the many albums.

They all wanted out, except for maybe Ringo. They knew it was time.

Watch Get Back. Epstein died and no one replaced the void. They were rudderless and exhausted, but could still make music. Fame and management-wise, it was unexplored territory. I think Epstein would have made them take vacations from each other and then brought them back together after each did their own thing for a bit. They were fragmented and still very young.

Lennon abandoned his leadership with LSD and then with a heroin addiction and Yoko.

Paul says John broke up the band, and John probably said Paul did. But it was obvious Paul and John wanted to go in different directions, George was tired of being a second stringer despite material that was arguably the best of their later efforts, and Ringo was just tired of the bickering. At least they left artistically on a high note with Abbey Road, though the earlier recorded and far inferior Let It Be was released later, evidently for contractual reasons.

They were big in Jamaica also. My aunts use to love them but I was a little child those days.

Well Lennon is not here to say anything about it but as they said in many interviews the band fell apart because they were not the same young guys that started together, they evolved in different ways. Yes Lennon got more political, Harrison more spiritual, Ringo went for cinema and didn't take himself so serious, Meanwhile Paul had a successful career with brilliant & commercial ideas, a real talent. What makes the Beatles great in my view is that they were 4 different personalities, 4 amazing solo artists in one band. The band finished in the right time, unfortunately 2 of them died too early

Lennon and yoko

I miss these times,so much !!

A fact which is mostly ignored with relation to the Beatles' break up is Lennon's increasing use of heroin in this late period. This was why McCartney had to assume creative control. John and Yoko were both into it and explains why they asked to have a bed for her in the studio: she was zonked out and if you look carefully at footage of Lennon at this time you can see he is too.
