John Lennon said two classic Beatles albums proved they should never reunite
Fans were devastated in April 1970 when the Beatles announced they were splitting up. In fact, the band had been falling apart behind the scenes for the previous few years, amid fights, rivalries and resentments. In an extraordinarily frank and unvarnished interview in 1971 with The Daily Express, Lennon opened up about why for the rest of his life the musician would never waver from his conviction he could see "no reason" why they should ever reunite.
The interview was given to Daily Express entertainment journalist David Wigg in October 1971.
Lennon had been increasingly dismissive of some of the Beatles material. Towards the end of the group he also implied McCartney's compositions were rather lightweight.
