According to Mick Jagger, This Is Why The Beatles Broke Up
Ever since The Beatles broke up, the masses have been trying to place a finger on what exactly it was that caused it. In reality, it probably isn’t all that complicated. Regardless, people have treated The Beatles’ breakup like a high-stakes conspiracy theory. One individual who has grounded this event back to reality is The Rolling Stones‘ lead singer, Mick Jagger.
The Rolling Stones and The Beatles were musical contemporaries. However, they weren’t the best of friends, thus, they didn’t know much about each other on a vulnerable and personal level. Nonetheless, Mick Jagger still has a theory about the group’s disbandment, and given his status, his opinion is far more valid than some fan boy’s from Nebraska. Jagger’s theory is not hyperbolic or ornate to a fault. Rather, it is incredibly plausible and logical. Mick Jagger Believes It Merely Was a Battle of Personalities
In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger divulged the importance of his relationship with Keith Richards. Consequently, the interview pivoted in a direction Jagger seemingly didn’t see coming, as he was then asked about The Beatles’ breakup. Specifically, Jagger was asked about John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s roles in the breakup.
Concerning the question, Jagger stated that it was “hard to make even a stab at, because I don’t know John and Paul well enough.”
