Paul McCartney described Yoko Ono’s presence during the Beatles studio sessions as “an interference in the workplace” in the latest episode of his podcastOno, now 90, was married to John Lennon and their relationship “was bound to have an effect on the dynamics of the group,” McCartney told poet Paul Muldoon in an episode released last week.“We would allow this, and not make a fuss,” McCartney said. “And yet at the same time, I don’t think any of us particularly liked it.
“It was an interference in the workplace. We had a way we worked. The four of us worked with George Martin. And that was basically it. And we’d always done it like that. So not being very confrontational, I think we just bottled it up and just got on with it.” McCartney explained that studio time was part of the job for the Beatles, and not something that they took lightly.
“It was the idea of the Beatles – it was also just this straight, practical thing of, ‘This was our job. This is what we did in life,'” he said.“I didn’t instigate the split. That was our Johnny,” he claimed. “John walked into a room one day and said, ‘I am leaving the Beatles.’ Is that instigating the split, or not?”
Lennon had always wanted to break from the group, and had wished to start a new life with Ono, McCartney said in the interview.
