Paul McCartney Says New Film 'Proves' Beatles Split Wasn't His Fault
Paul McCartney is praising an upcoming documentary from Peter Jackson for reaffirming that the band’s break up was not his fault.
The Beatles: Get Back captures the making of 1970’s Let It Be, an LP now known for its contentious sessions. For instance, in one infamous moment from the original Let It Be film, McCartney confronted George Harrison about his guitar playing on one of the songs.
Jackson has reedited the footage to create The Beatles: Get Back, and McCartney believes the updated version better reflects the band’s culture at the time.
“It was so reaffirming for me,” he told the Sunday Times. “Because it proves that my main memory of the Beatles was the joy and the skill.”
The Times reports that new scenes in the film include several lighthearted moments. At one point, McCartney and John Lennon perform the Let It Be opening track "Two of Us" “as if they are ventriloquists.”
