Paul McCartney and John Lennon became wrapped up in a bitter feud following the latter’s decision to quit the band back in 1969. Lennon shocked the rest of The Beatles when, one day, he made the announcement out of the blue in a meeting. It was decided they would keep the move under wraps while they ironed out some business complications but it wasn’t long before the news was out.
The following year, McCartney took it upon himself to tell fans The Beatles were no more when he launched his first solo album.
This left Lennon irritated he hadn’t used the band’s break-up to his own advantage for publicity.
After the Fab Four’s demise, the former bandmates went their separate ways.
