The John Lennon Quote That Dubbed the Beatles a Group of 'Cheeky but Lovable Lads ...
Aside from their music and their fan base, The Beatles were known for being “cheeky” lads. Lennon even made a joke in front of members of the royal family. Here’s what his ex-wife, Cynthia Lennon, said about the moment during her 2005 memoir, John.
They might’ve been young and scrappy, but this rock band sparked “Beatlemania” and became of the first British rock groups to find success in America. John Lennon appeared as a founding member of the Beatles, performing with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
He was part of the songwriting duo “McCartney-Lennon,” co-writing several hits for the Beatles. That includes “Let It Be,” “In My Life,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Lennon even recorded and released music as a solo artist.
After releasing chart-topping singles and hosting concerts across the United Kingdom, The Beatles appeared in the Royal Variety Performance, performing “Twist and Shout.” The Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, and Lord Snowdon were in attendance.
