The Beatles were one of the biggest and most influential bands of all time. They revolutionised music and spawned countless other bands of similar styles. But with such an iconic group of musicians disbanding in 1970, one can’t help but wonder if and when they reunited. Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Beatles never reunited.
The band was made up of four members: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. While they were quite successful as a unit, each member went on to pursue their own solo careers. This ultimately caused the group to disband and for each member to find their own paths.
John Lennon’s solo career is especially noteworthy; the icon released a plethora of acclaimed singles, albums, and videos. His political messages resonated with global audiences, as his songs spoke to those important and often sensitive topics. Lennon was tragically murdered just 40 years ago, in 1980.
Paul McCartney proved to be one of the most successful of the former band members with a conglomerate of awards and accomplishments. McCartney has topped the charts and has even earned himself spots in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, among others. But perhaps his biggest claim to fame came in the form of a partnership with his former band mate, Ringo Starr. The duo produced the 1981 collaborative album, “Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band”.
George Harrison, while not as successful solo as his former band mates, was still able to achieve success both critically and commercially. He released a few albums and remained in the spotlight with occasional concert appearances. Harrison’s solo works were often heavily influenced by his religious influences (especially that of Hinduism).
Ringo Starr remained true to his rock and roll roots. The drummer, who officially retired in 2008, was celebrated as a lifetime recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 and is currently promoting his new project: “Peace & Love” or PL40, an organization dedicated to spreading and preserving peace and love around the globe.
Despite all of the success and accomplishments of the former band mates, they never reunited. After the band’s break up, there were plans for a Beatles reunion but they never materialized. Many attribute this to John Lennon’s untimely passing, but whatever the reason, the possibility of a reunion is no longer.
