When did The Beatles break up?
As with all great things, there has to be an end at some point. For The Beatles, this breakup came in 1970 (de jure) and legally in 1974. There were multiple reasons why The Beatles decided to break up. The hype calmed down, the group's manager passed away, and some members started to dislike McCartney. Lennon left the group first, McCartney soon followed, and quickly, The Beatles were nothing more than a shell.
