The Beatles: Long-lost break-up legal notes found in drawer
In 2021, Sir Paul McCartney told the BBC why he had felt compelled to “sue my mates”.
Despite stepping away from The Beatles in early 1970, the band’s final legal separation was not confirmed until December 1974.
McCartney said confusion over the break-up had festered because the band’s new manager Allen Klein – with whom he refused to align – said he had needed time to tie up some financial loose ends.
“So for a few months we had to pretend,” McCartney recalled.
“It was weird because we all knew it was the end of The Beatles but we couldn’t just walk away.”
McCartney ended up suing his bandmates in the high court because he wanted to keep their music out of Klein’s hands.
“I had to fight and the only way I could fight was in suing the other Beatles, because they were going with Klein,” he explained.
