John Lennon missed The Beatles final recording because of Yoko Ono -

The Beatles released their final album, Let It Be, in 1970, before splitting up for good. The band's 13th album included some major hits, including Across the Universe, Get Back, Let It Be and The Long and Winding Road - to name but a few. But it also included one of George Harrison's best-loved songs: I Me Mine. However, when the band started recording the track, John Lennon was nowhere to be seen.

The Beatles assembled at Abbey Road for the final time on January 3, 1970, to record their last song together, I Me Mine. The album version of the track is credited to Harrison on vocals, acoustic guitars and lead guitars; Paul McCartney on harmony vocals, bass guitar, Hammond organ and electric piano; and Ringo Starr on drums.

At the time, Lennon was out of the country. He had flown out of the UK on December 29, 1969, alongside his wife, Yoko Ono, to the small city of Aalborg in Denmark.

The couple stayed with Ono's first husband, Tony Cox, and his new wife Melinde. Lennon and Ono were visiting her daughter and stayed at Cox's farmhouse until January 25, 1970.
