After Paul McCartney Sued The Beatles, Their Own Manager Allen Klein Did Same Asking ..
Paul McCartney's exit from The Beatles caused serious tension behind the scenes and in court.
Paul McCartney sued The Beatles and their manager, Allen Klein, in 1970, in an attempt to protect their creative freedom and prevent their earnings from going into a shared pot.
Despite being blamed for breaking up The Beatles, McCartney claims he filed the lawsuit to save the band and their music from falling into the hands of Allen Klein.
Manager Allen Klein later sued The Beatles for $19 million after they decided not to renew his contract. The lawsuit was settled in 1977, with Apple paying Klein $5 million and Klein paying out $800,000.
All these years later, Paul McCartney isn't quitting on music, the artist is still going strong into his 80s. He still has big plans for a final Beatles song, and he plans to use John Lennon's voice as well.
