According to Paul McCartney, he and John Lennon fought a lot over the phone after the Beatles broke up.
After John Lennon get out of the Beatles, Paul McCartney got some hard feelings and talked about how the former bandmate “got nasty” at the time, according to information from Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
In the book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Presentreleased on August 25, 2021, McCartney wrote about the “ugly” rivalry with Lennon. “When the Beatles ended and everyone was struggling, John it got nasty,” he said in the work. “I really don’t understand why. Maybe because we grew up in Liverpool, where it was always good to throw the first punch of a fight.”
“John he shot missiles at me with the songs, and one or two of them were pretty cruel,” the iconic bassist continued in the book. “I don’t know what he expected to win, other than punching me in the face. The whole thing really bothered me.” In addition, the musician was hurt several times by his former bandmate.
John would say things like, ‘Everything was rubbish. You Beatles were crap.’
However, Paul McCartney and John Lennon made peace
Paul McCartney revealed in The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present like the friendship between him and John Lennon gradually returned to growth after the disagreement. “In the beginning, after the separation of the Beatleswe didn’t have contact, but there were a lot of things we needed to talk about,” he recalled. “Our relationship was sometimes a little strained because we discussed business and sometimes we insulted each other on the phone.”
However, the tables gradually changed: “Gradually, we passed that phase, and if I were in New York, I would call and say: ‘Would you like a cup of tea?'” During an interview with The Sunday Times, McCartney revealed commented on how “it was a great blessing for me” to reconcile with Lennon.
“We made a decision when Beatles it turned out we weren’t going to get back together with the band,” added the star. “So we hung up [do Fab Four] definitely. “You talk about closing the loop on something that is very satisfying; let’s not spoil it with something that might not be so good.”
