    Seeing these photos makes it hard to believe that they had ill feelings towards each other leading to their break up 🙁

    They loved each other……. the break up was just business 🙂

    The break-up was a complex situation of business, the need to find their own lives, and being forced to play as a single body of rockers. After the separation, things cooled off and they realized they were inseparable as people and friends. They were the on;y four individual s who understood what it was to be “Beatles”. Not even their wives could understand that feature. Had John not been murdered, I would like to believe there would have been more music, if only on occasions.

    I agree completely with all of the above comments.The Beatles truly loved each other but business and bickering with the wives,the music coming full circle.There was nothing else but to call it quits.There will NEVER be another Beatles.They were TRULY one of a kind.They will NEVER EVER be duplicated !!!!
    John,Paul,George and Ringo,thank you for all the music collectively and individually.

    I watched in total amazement their first performance on Ed Sullivan in Feb 1964. And I read about their breakup in 1970. I was quite saddened by the those turn of events. There was an undeniable love and understanding that only they knew. And apparently they also knew when it was time. I agree that maybe, just maybe, they might have tried again from time to time. But as, they pointed out, they were unsure if it would be that good. Abbey Road was and still is a true master piece. We as the listener would judge them according to what our expectations were. I love them to this day. They are the reason I chose to play guitar. And they still inspire me when I’m writing. Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo for an everlasting and edible mark you have made upon me!!!!

    It was a hard year for the Beatles. Unfortunately you could tell that their breakup was coming.
