John Lennon: Did Yoko and Linda feud SPLIT up the Beatles? Incredible interview

They remain the biggest band of all time. Yet the Beatles barely lasted a decade and imploded at the end of the 1960s amid rumours of feuds between the band members and their wives. When the devastating news was revealed in 1970, many fans blamed Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, for tearing the band apart. In a major unearthed interview from 1971, Lennon (with Yoko in the background) discusses the end of the band and the reports of fighting. But is he telling the truth?

Lennon immediately points out that he was with his first wife Cynthia when the Beatles started and it never affected the band. He said: "I was married before the Beatles left Liverpool and that never made a difference."

The other Beatles would certainly have had some loyalty to Cynthia, who John married in 1962, and there was no denying Yoko was the reason that marriage ended. But many believed it was Yoko's artistic career that drove a wedge between Lennon and the band as he put his second wife and her needs first.
