Paul McCartney says John Lennon 'instigated' the Beatles' break-up
For almost 50 years, Sir Paul McCartney has shouldered the blame for breaking up the Beatles. But in a new BBC interview, he has said the split was prompted by John Lennon. "I didn't instigate the split. That was our Johnny," he told interviewer John Wilson. "I am not the person who instigated the split. "Oh no, no, no. John walked into a room one day and said I am leaving the Beatles. And he said, 'It's quite thrilling, it's rather like a divorce.' And then we were left to pick up the pieces."
