Paul McCartney Revealed The Sad Truth About The Beatles Disbandment Story
78-year-old English singer and former The Beatles vocalist, Paul McCartney, has revealed the details before The Beatles' disbandment and the "hurtful" song composed by a fellow member, John Lennon.
"I suppose that when The Beatles broke up, perhaps there was a misconception that we all sort of hated each other," the singer blurted out in an exclusive interview with British GQ. The matter was explained by McCartney, referencing the famous band's split in April of 1970.
According to McCartney, he had solely realized that The Beatles member considers one another as a family. As an ordinary gang, it is reasonable to argue that tends to create a dispute against each other.
Instead of giving out negative criticisms to his former band pals, the music icon all blamed the filthy case to the responsibility of Rolling Stones manager Allan Klein.

McCartney's statement reported by Hollywood Life, where the singer-songwriter admits that it was his only pathway to extricate the band and Apple. The incident made McCartney appoint the 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson to reimagine The Beatles songs for the '2020 Beatles biopic Get Back.;
Moreover, the decision was firmly backed by McCartney's statement to British GQ that if he hadn't made a move, the records might all go to Klein. The singer added that he only did it because he had to do what he needs to do, saying he wanted to sue Klein.
The legal action's process took over four years to resolve the band's legal separation in January 1975. The band's split made McCartney's relationship to his pals go weary, especially with Lennon's wife Yoko Ono, who is now 87.
McCartney recalls when he read an article by Yoko, who says Paul did nothing for the band, but only for booking a studio. McCartney's reaction came boiling up from his blood with his words that say, "Err? No…"
