New Source Reveals Untold Story of ‘Why The Beatles Really Broke Up’

1843 Magazine has shared a new article entitled “A Rockers Guide to Management” and author Ian Leslie told the real reason of why The Beatles broke up…

Here’s the story:

“By 1970, the Beatles were racked by financial, legal and personal disputes. Apple Corps, the company they founded in 1967, had become an unholy mess of money-sucking misadventures. Lennon was finding more inspiration from his new wife, Yoko Ono, than from his co-workers, and insisted on taking her into work.

Harrison was increasingly frustrated with his limited role. Meanwhile McCartney had recorded a solo album, “McCartney.” which he wanted EMI to release as quickly as possible. But a new Beatles' album, “Let It Be,” was also ready for release, and EMI didn’t want the two albums competing for sales. Harrison wrote a friendly letter to McCartney, on behalf of the other three, asking him to delay the release of his album.

Starr drove to McCartney’s house in north London to deliver the letter. On reading it, McCartney became incandescent with rage, shouting at Starr, threatening him and jabbing a finger in his face. McCartney got his way, but the incident damaged his relationship with Starr, who said later, “I’m very emotional; things like that really upset me.”

Business disagreements were intensely personal because, for the Beatles, everything was intensely personal. What were Starr and McCartney disagreeing about so violently? A marketing plan! It was because the Beatles were such good friends to begin with that they fell out irreconcilably.”
