Yoko Ono Caused The Beatles Split? John Lennon Knew Band Was Over Upon Meeting Her
John Lennon knew The Beatles would break up after he met Yoko Ono.
Decades after The Beatles disbanded, talks about who caused the split continue to take over the internet as some blamed Lennon while others said it was because of Paul McCartney.
However, the late The Beatles member reportedly said in the past how meeting Ono sparked the beginning of the band's ending.
Lennon broke his silence before his death on Dec. 8, 1980, during which he said The Beatles' breakup started in 1966 when he met Ono.
The report reposted by Express UK noted that The Beatles cited creative differences, disagreements with the management, and band members' feuds as the reason behind the split. However, Lennon offered a different answer and said his wife was the reason behind the group's disbandment.
"The old gang of mine was over the moment I met her. I didn't consciously know it at the time, but that's what was going on," he said years after meeting her at an exhibition in London.
The couple first bumped into each other in November 1966 while Lennon was still married to Cynthia Lennon. Aside from The Beatles, Ono also caused Lennon's split from Cynthia.
