Best Answer

We'll start with the time period - it probably started in 1968 during the White Album; Ringo walked out of the band. He was persuaded to come back, early in 1969 George left the band - he was persuaded back to finish Let It Be and to record Abbey Road. After Abbey Road, all four knew the game was up.

The "why" is more complicated; however, Paul's explanation is probably the best - it was like being in the army, at some point you have to stop being with your mates all the time, you grow up, get married and start living normal lives - that's what happened to The Beatles.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison had been playing together since 1958. They "turned professional" in 1960. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best in 1962. They officially broke up in 1970.
