George Harrison Once Explained Why The Beatles Stopped Touring, 'We Were Getting No

The Beatles went on many worldwide tours where they were greeted by millions of screaming fans. However, the band abruptly stopped touring in 1966, ultimately never touring again as the group disbanded in 1970. In regards to touring, George Harrison said The Beatles stopped after they were “getting no pleasure out of it.”

In 1966, The Beatles went on their third and final tour of North America. The tour was already marked by controversy as John Lennon had to apologize for comparing The Beatles’ popularity to Jesus. The band traveled throughout the U.S., but by the end, they had decided this would be the band’s final tour.

On August 26, 1966, The Beatles performed at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. This would be the end of their touring days and the final paid concert the band would ever perform. According to Rolling Stone, George Harrison said the band had already decided it would be their final concert before they went on stage.
