Why did Paul McCartney quit the band?

Answer 1

They had a very troubled marriage. He cheated on her a lot and was drunk or on drugs for almost their entire time together. He wasn't a very good husband in general.

If you want a better understanding of what their marriage was like, I suggest reading Pattie's book "Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Me".

Answer 2

There are several reasons The Beatles broke up, as well as many different theories as to why they broke up. The most logical reason is the differences in their lives and their growing apart, but many believe that it was because of Yoko Ono, John's wife.

Answer 3

Paul McCartney was never married to Patti Boyd, so he never divorced her either. George Harrison married and later divorced Patti Boyd.

Answer 4

She left him for Eric Clapton. Harrison divided his time between studying Hinduism and keeping company with women other than Pattie, and she had enough.

Answer 5

She was a gold digger. He eventually found out that she only married him for his money.

Answer 6

They had a tough marriage from the very beginning.
