Paul McCartney speaks openly about The Beatles' breakup: "When John met Yoko, that was the end"

Paul McCartney has once again reflected on the breakup of The Beatles, one of the most analyzed episodes in music history. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the British artist acknowledged that John Lennon's decision to leave the group was "a great shock, very traumatic, a drama", marking a point of no return for the band.

Although Yoko Ono has been blamed for the breakup over the years, McCartney now qualifies his view. "When John met Yoko, that was the end of the Beatles," he admits, but adds that over time he has come to understand that relationship better: "In time it's easier to accept that they fitted in very well." According to him, the connection between the two went beyond the personal and responded to an artistic affinity: "She fitted completely with that experimental thing."
Paul McCartney on The Beatles' breakup: "I have absolutely nothing against it". The musician recalls how the meeting between Lennon and Ono took place at the Indica Gallery in creative 1960s London: "That's how John met Yoko... He went to see her. They met." Nevertheless, he acknowledges that her presence altered the internal dynamics of the group. "It was disturbing because it would separate the Beatles," he says, recalling moments of bewilderment such as when "she was sitting on one of the amps."
