This day 55 years ago, on 31 December 1970 PAUL McCARTNEY
filed a law suit against Ringo, George and John to end their partnership
officialy.

His reasons for doing so included the fact that the band was no longer performing together, as well as his bandmates’ choice to appoint business manager Allen Klein,
without Macca‘s consent.

THE BEATLES’ breakup had already been in motion, with John Lennon privately announcing his departure in 1969. The band made their final recordings together in August 1969, while the split was legally formalized in 1974.

55 years ago today, on 10 April 1970, the pop world woke up to horrible news.
27-year-old PAUL McCARTNEY revealed in a press statement that he had quit
THE BEATLES.

“I have no future plans to record or appear with
The Beatles again, or to write any music with John.”

But, it actually was John Lennon who broke up the group when
he already had left the Fab Four in late 1969. He had kept his
decision under wraps to aid the band’s business ventures.

His reaction to the Macca exit: “Paul hasn’t left. I sacked him.”

debut LP, named McCartney.

No troubles anymore, Paul?
