Beatles breakup: 40 Years later
It’s been now 40 years since loved famous group in the world stopped performing as a band. After John Lennon(rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), Ringo Starr (drums, vocals) and George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals), four talented English guys started a band they called The Beatles back in 1960 in Liverpool, England, they released albums that changed history..

April 10th, a historic day
On April 10th 1970 the English newspaper Daily Mirror shocked the entire world with a headline announcing the official dissolution of the band. Paul McCartney broke the news. Even John Lennon admitted the dream was over. Actually the dream had ended a year before the official announcement of their dissolution, when John Lennon had decided to work on his own projects but it seems he was, in certain ways, obliged to keep “the secret” as the “Abbey Road” album was being promoted and they still had to give the illusion of being together in order to promote it.
It was a black day in music history when the Beatles broke hearts of millions of fans who had lived great moments listening to lyrics of songs like “All you need is love” or “The Yellow Submarine”.
Why?
The members decided to concentrate on their own lives and work on individual projects.
Paul McCartney answered a series of questions in Daily Mirror. He talked about personal and business differences among the members of the band and he explained clearly that no new Beatles album would ever be recorded.
But fans knew that the band split up mostly due to John Lennon’s addiction to drugs in response to the pressure. He couldn’t take anymore from his fans. All this, his relationship with Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney’s decision to concentrate more on his family life and the managerial issues contributed to the band´s descion to stop performing together.
A few years later, some of the members of the group collaborated although John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Star and George Harrison never performed as a group again.
Their work still inspires us today with original, unforgetable albums like “Let it be”, “Abbey Road” or “Rubber Soul.”
But hey, don’t get too nostalgic: Rent Apartments in Madrid, take your favourite songs with you and enjoy The Beatles music wherever you are.
