Paul announces the split
In early April 1970, a printed Q&A presented as a press release emerged that saw McCartney seemingly confirming The Beatles’ breakup.
In the interview, McCartney answered questions about the future of the band and the nature around his first solo album, McCartney, which was set for release a week later.
When asked whether his record is the start of a solo career or a break from the band, McCartney said it was both. When asked whether he and Lennon would reunite at any point, he said, “No,” and when asked why the band is breaking up, he simply said, “Personal differences, business differences, musical differences, but most of all because I have a better time with my family.”
