Paul McCartney blames John Lennon for breaking up The Beatles: 'I wanted it to continue'

Paul McCartney is opening up about the real reason behind The Beatles’ breakup, going against decadeslong rumors that he was the reason that the iconic English rock band split up., linking their ultimate dissolution to just one member of the group: John Lennon.. “That was our Johnny. I am not the person who instigated the split."Cummings Archives / Redferns

McCartney recalled the conversation, explaining, “John walked into the room one day and said, ‘I’m leaving The Beatles.’ And he said, ’It’s quite thrilling, it’s rather like a divorce.’ And then we were left to pick up the pieces.” Interviewer John Wilson asked the rock star if the Fab Four would have continued had Lennon not decided to leave, to which McCartney responded, “It could have.”

"The point of it really was that John was making a new life with Yoko and he wanted ... to lie in bed for a week in Amsterdam for peace,” McCartney said. “You couldn't argue with that.” McCartney added, “It was the most difficult period of my life. Number one, The Beatles were breaking up and this was my band, this was my job, this was my life. I wanted it to continue. I thought we were doing some pretty good stuff.”Over the years, music historians have hypothesized that the breakup of The Beatles was caused by a slew of issues, including creative differences and disagreements about management.
