Paul McCartney and John Lennon 'never stopped caring about each other' despite bitter feud -
Tensions had been rising between the bandmates before Paul announced his decision to quit in 1970. He spent the next few years feuding with John, with the pair even taking aim at one another through songs.
John started the feud with his track How Do You Sleep? before Paul hit back with Too Many People. However, the pair eventually put aside their differences and reconciled. Author Ian Leslie, who has written a book about Paul and John, believes the pair actually "never stopped caring about each other."
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, he explained, "They never stopped respecting each other as songwriters. And they always missed each other as creative partners."
Leslie continued, "I think they just missed each other in that sense." However, it wasn't easy for John and Paul to get their friendship back to the way it was.

Leslie told us, "It was very hard by that stage, they had their own families, there were the legal and business problems and divisions and they lived in different countries. So they couldn't kind of re-establish their old friendship."
