Why Paul McCartney He Didn't Keep the Beatles Going with George Harrison and Ringo Starr ...
Although the Beatles came to an end in 1970, the band's breakup is still a hotly debated topic among fans, including Howard Stern. In 2018, the radio host got Paul McCartney to state, once and for all, that John Lennon's relationship with Yoko Ono led to the band's breakup.
On Tuesday, during his Sirius XM show, he probed the musician on another element of the breakup, suggesting McCartney didn't keep the group going with its remaining members — George Harrison and Ringo Starr — because he underestimated Harrison's abilities.
While McCartney didn't deny he overlooked his late bandmate, who died in 2001, he attributed the group's demise to more personal reasons.
"I hear what you're saying, but the thing is Howard, that's like a family. When families break up, it's to do with the emotion and the emotional pain," he responded. "You're hurting too much, and so it wasn't going to happen. We'd been through too much and I think we were just fed up with the whole thing."
