All You Need Is Love…And These Facts About John Lennon

The Beatles divorce

Although the Beatles didn’t actually split publicly until April 1970 when Paul McCartney announced it, it was a long time coming. The previous year in September was it for John Lennon and he claimed he wanted a “divorce” from the band.
