Paul McCartney revealed the 'embarrassing' on-stage moment that derailed his future as The Beatles ' lead guitarist. During a new episode of his 'McCartney: A Life in Lyrics' podcast, the 81-year-old legendary musician recalled that he initially wanted to play guitar for the band instead of bass. However, his hopes were dashed after an incident at a show early in his career.
McCartney did not specify when the incident occurred, but it may have taken place during his time with Lennon's band The Quarrymen, which eventually evolved into The Beatles. In 1960, McCartney, Lennon and bandmate George Harrison, who were members of The Quarrymen, changed the group's name to The Beatles, and Ringo Starr joined the band in 1962.
Harrison became the band's lead guitarist, while McCartney played bass, Lennon played rhythm guitar and Starr was the drummer. McCartney and Lennon were also The Beatles' lead vocalists and main songwriters. Known as the 'Fab Four,' The Beatles would go on to become one of the most successful bands of all time.
