Some say it was Yoko Ono's influence on John, some say it was Paul. Who can really say? http://www.liv.ac.uk/ipm/beatles/breflib/breakup.html Apr 11 02, 12:01 PM

Really, the answer is simple. They broke up for the same reason they were successful--they were all extremely talented musicians interested in trying new things. The breakup really began in 1967 with the death of Brian Epstein, who had managed the group since late 1961. Epstein was the one who kept the Beatles working together, resolving disputes between members, soothing bruised egos, and most importantly, handling the money. Meanwhile, the members of the group began moving in different directions. John Lennon became more interested in the avant-garde art scene. At an exhibit in London, he met artist Yoko Ono. They fell in love and planned art projects together. In the beginning, John tried to get the other Beatles to join in, but they had little enthusiasm for these projects, and eventually John worked with Yoko on their artwork without them. http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbeatlesbreakup.html Jan 28 08, 10:10 AM
