when did the beatles announce their break up
Break-up of the Beatles The break-up of the Beatles was a cumulative process that developed over the final years of their career, marked by rumours of a split and ambiguous comments by the members themselves regarding the future of the group. In September 1969, John Lennon privately informed his bandmates that he was leaving the group, but there was no public acknowledgement of the break-up until 10 April 1970, when Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the band.
