Macca glad Beatles never reformed
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 April 2010
Paul McCartney says he’s well glad The Beatles were never tempted to get back together in the late 70s before John Lennon’s untimely demise.
The Fab Four were, of course, together a relatively short time given the scale of their output, and broke up in 1970. In an interview with Q, Macca reveals the band did consider reforming later in the 70s, but says that, with hindsight, he’s glad they never did.
McCartney: “There was a bit of talk of The Beatles [reforming] at certain points. What used to happen was three of us would fancy it and then maybe George or John or I wouldn’t. In a way it was a blessing. We’d done it, why spoil it?”.
