Listen, we all know that when The Beatles broke up in 1970, things could hardly be described as rosy between the four of them. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were at loggerheads, George Harrison was increasingly disgruntled at not having his chance to shine, and Ringo Starr felt the band wasn’t allowing him to be at his musical best. Those fractures took a long time to fully heal.
And while for obvious reasons a full reunion of the Fab Four never came to be, the general consensus was that despite their differences, the Liverpudlian legends still always loved each other deep down, even if they couldn’t work together any longer. Between supporting each other’s solo music to staging partial reunions, there’s no denying that the pounding heart of Beatlemania may have initially pulled them apart, but eventually did always bond them together, cementing a legacy that will undoubtedly live longer than them all.
