'The Beatles Break up'

> A Rumor alleging that Beatles member Paul McCartney secretly died and was replaced by a look-alike.

'There were numerous causes for the Beatles' break-up. It was not a single event but a long transition, including the cessation of touring in 1966, and the death of their manager, Brian Epstein, in 1967, meaning the beatles were personally involved in financial and legal conflicts.

Conflicts arose from differences between each member's artistic vision. Both George harrisson and Ringo Starr temporarily 'left' the group at various points during 1968-1969 and all four band members had begun working on solo projects by 1970 as the appeal of working together as a group began to wane. Ultimately, animosity made it impossible for the group to continue working together and Paul McCartney made the break-up public knowledge as part of the press release for his first solo album, 'McCartney'.'
