Sir Paul McCartney hates the misconception that he broke up The Beatles.
McCartney says he has “only finally just got over” claims that he split up the band – which also featured John Lennon, Sir Ringo Starr and George Harrison – in 1969.
During a talk with poet Paul Muldoon – who he has collaborated on ‘The Lyrics, 1956 to the present’ book with – at the Royal Festival Hall in London, McCartney was asked what the biggest misconception was about being Paul McCartney.
He replied: “That I had broken The Beatles up … so I lived with that because once a headline is out there it sticks. That was a big one that I’ve only finally just got over.”
Paul also revealed his regret that he never told John Lennon he loved him and said it was “miraculous” that The Beatles had found each other.
