When did the Beatles start to fall apart?

Answer 1

It was officially released in the newspapers on April 10, 1970 that Paul McCartney had left The Beatles.

Although, it was John Lennon who had officially quit first.

Answer 2

As Abbey Road was coming out, John Lennon told Paul McCartney "I think you're daft" when they met to discuss future projects, but didn't declare it openly; Allen Klein was renegotiating their record contract, and it would have hurt their bargaining position. Paul McCartney announced his departure in April 1970, as he released his first solo album... and after their contract was renegotiated.

Most people remember McCartney as "quitting first"; he admitted years later that Lennon was the first to go. Lennon was bitter about McCartney's announcement: "I was a fool not to do what Paul did, which was use it to sell a record." McCartney also hated the changes Phil Spector made to "The Long And Winding Road", but could not stop the Spector version's release.

In December 1970 McCartney began legal proceedings to officially dissolve The Beatles as a legal entity. (He said later "I felt like an arse, suing my best mates and being seen to sue my best mates.") Their partnership was not legally dissolved until 1975.

1970.

Answer 3

They began to fall apart after Brian Epstein died in 1967. His death caused massive shockwaves for the Beatles and things were never the same between them after that. Little rifts and arguments between them had been simmering and Brians death brought them to the surface.

Answer 4

The Beatles, or John Lennon and Paul McCartney specifically differed in musical style and eagerness to keep the band together. When Lennon began a relationship with Yoko Ono the band was put on the back-burner and each of the members did solo work for a period of time. McCartney insisted that they come back together again, thus Let It Be was made. However Let It Be was a difficult album for the Beatles because of bitterness between them. Lennon brought Ono to the studio recordings (which was frowned upon by the other members) where she aggravated the band and George Harrison threatened to quit. So, while they likely had differences throughout their career, the feud that ultimately finished them was around 1970.

Answer 5

they broke up in 1970. That same year each of the four band members released a solo album.

Answer 6

Often. As a matter of fact scotch and coke became their signature drink from their Hamburg days.

Answer 7

Somewhere around the white album was when things really heated up. Here were arguments before that, but the problems during the white album were the beginning of the end for those two.
