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.

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

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 🥰

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

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

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

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❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤

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

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.

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.

You have to remember that John was always the proclaimed band leader, but McCartney superseded him by out producing him in number of songs. Lennon was an artist, McCartney was too, but had a business sense. With Epstein's death, the mega Global Group lost fundamental guidance. McCartney wanted the Easement Family---Linda's family---Who were a substantial Business Law Group to take over the management. Lennon wanted Alan kline, manager of people like the Rolling Stones to take over the duties. Lennon, like many Rock Bands, thought Kline was a great manager. Remember John was a pure artist and pretty flakey when it came to business. Everyone who dealt with Kline got ripped off. He was a crooked promotor type. The disagreement over management caused the break up. Lennon was temporarily fortunate in his later comeback to get Dave Geffin to manage him during the production of Lennon's last two albums and was there for Yoko at the time of Lennon's assassination.

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.

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

We all knew it was Yoko

Nice video 📹 and workmanship!!! I like the Beatles

Lennon and yoko

George Harrison refused to play on some tracks and not even turning up to the recording studio, plus being the first to say he would never tour again as a Beatle. He was in open dispute with Lennon and Macca about allowing him more of his own tracks on albums. I think a lot of people agree as I do he simply walked out and never came back there for being the first to leave.

The FACT is when Brian Epstein died, Paul took over the band. It was Lennon's band from the beginning and he resented Paul assuming leadership. In addition Paul did not care for George's guitar playing and he walked out of several recording sessions because of Paul criticizing his playing, John lost interest in the band because Paul took over leadership and John Quit.They did not get along.

Too many big egos together!!!!

When they all were no longer willing to continue together it was time to call it a day. Simple

Most people who have played for any length of time in a band know that relationships get strained to the limit. They were cooped up on the road and in the studio. If you add Beatlemania into that, they would have to burn out. Thank God they did so many great albums before then. I believe it is that simple.

Lennon said to paul the marriage is over , said i want a divorce

it was Yoko

John was ready to leave the group in 1965 he was burned out with Beatle Mania…… the big question is would John Lennon ever have made it in music without the Beatles happening..possibly not, he himself said he more than likely would have been a criminal. So with that being said it is safe to say that Paul was actually the leader of the group. Sorry Lennon fans all the facts point to that realization. After Paul joined the quarryman the other members dropped out cause they were not up to Paul’s standards.

A Perfect Band!

One name Alan Kline!

If John never met Yoko, they would have stayed together. Case closed

Macca told the truth as he saw it. Handy when Lennon and Harris are both no longer alive to contradict him.

Paul replaced the other guy and did a better job it seems.

Yoko broke up everything!

Yeah, he can say what he wants now that John is dead and can't refute him

Bossy McCartney and mis-handling of finances ( Apple Corp) was responsible for the termination of The Beatles. Perhaps the expired sell by date as well.

How many songs from George Martin did they use?

Forget Ringo the Winner or last one standing writes history ,When John was killed i remember the quote it's a drag ,Fame yeah ,yeah ,yeah. just keep telling your truth Paul.

maybe JL would have stayed if McCartney hadn't nixed every idea he and george had to change the band

McCartney lost the Lennon, the true poet John Lennon and the music box, George Harrison. He because he became what he really a punk.

Never cared for their screaming

Lennon left the group and told Mcartney he didn’t want to carry on long before the end of the Beatles. But greedy Mac just carried on by himself.

Paul was jealous of Yoko’s musical talent.

I’m not, totally convinced, that the Paul we see now, is the original.
