Paul McCartney says that John Lennon - not him.
Paul McCartney said John Lennon initiated the infamous split between the Beatles more than 50 years ago.
In an excerpt of an interview with The Guardian, McCartney attempted to set the record straight about how he, Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr parted ways.
The outlet reported that at the time, McCartney took much of the blame from fans.
McCartney, who called their split and the aftermath the "most difficult period" of his life, addressed the breakup when asked about his solo career.

"Stop right there.
I am not the person who instigated the split.
Oh no, no, no.
John walked into a room one day and said I am leaving the Beatles.
Is that instigating the split, or not?" McCartney said.
He added: 'This was my band, this was my job, this was my life, so I wanted it to continue."

McCartney, 79, told The Guardian that Lennon found his decision to leave the Beatles "quite thrilling" and "rather like a divorce." However, he said that the remaining three members were "left to pick up the pieces."

McCartney continued that the group's manager, Allen Klein, instructed the members to stay quiet about the split while he finished business deals.
