From 1962 on the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). The Beatles were the most amazing band I have ever heard!

The Beatles band had broken up on September 20th 1969. John Lennon told Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (George Harrison was not present) that he is leaving The Beatles. It's hard to understand why John seemed to be more miserable the bigger The Beatles got. Fame isn't as glorious as it seems to a teenager. It was not a glamorous and fun time for John. But one must try to understand Lennon's wounded psych. He was extremely insecure. That's why he needed a band around him. John seamed to think that The Beatles were going down hill and it would be best if they stopped at where they were then. Some say it was Yoko Ono’s fault, Lennon says in the interview, "It seemed that I either had to be married to them or Yoko. I chose Yoko and I was right.”
Even though some are dead and some are alive they will always live on as a band as amazing people in everyone’s hearts! The Beatles are my all time favorite band! They always will be RIP John and George and have an amazing rest of your life Paul and Ringo!
