When George Harrison Had an Affair With Ringo's Wife Maureen
If you like a heavy dose of drama with your classic rock, then the late period of The Beatles has it all for you. Before the breakup, there were near-fistfights between John Lennon and Paul McCartney and an actual scuffle between John and George Harrison.
By 1969, you had George quitting the band during the Let It Be sessions, John saying he was leaving for good, and Paul falling into a deep depression. Indeed, there was enough drama to fill hundreds of books, and writers have been on the job ever since.
Yet before the arrival of Yoko Ono on the scene in ’68, you could argue the band mostly avoided drama having to do with women. To that point, John had been married to his first wife Cynthia; Ringo married his first wife Maureen in 1965; and George also tied the knot (with model Pattie Boyd) in ’66.
