What if the Beatles Never Broke Up? (MegaTy7's Version)

The Beatles were a british rock band formed in 1960 made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr (real name: Richard Starkey). In 1970, they split up: what if this never happened?

1970-1976
After John Lennon announced he was leaving the Beatles, he called Paul McCartney saying he 'needed a break' from the Beatles. Five months later, John rejoined the band and released The Beatles II, better known as the Black Album. Two years later, the album Living in the Material World was released. Paul McCartney duetted with his wife, Linda McCartney in a few of the album's songs.

The following year, they released Venus and Mars. Linda McCartney, because to her collaboration with the Beatles, was nicknamed the 'She-Beatle' by the media. However, tensions had risen among the four about Linda being included in the album. They all had remained together until 1976, when John took a break from songwriting.

1976-1984
This didn't last long, as rumours that the Beatles were recording music again. In 1980, the album Starting Over was released and shortly after, they were recording again. However, disaster struck when John Lennon was assassinated in December 1980. The album had to be completed, yet only 25% of the album had been recorded. The release date got delayed four times, before being released in 1984 as All Those Years Ago.

A magazine article titled 'The Threetles? Can Paul, George and Ringo Carry On?' about the possibility of the three remaining Beatles carrying on with their music together was published the same year.

1984-1991
That's What It Takes was released in 1987, the first Beatles album without John Lennon credited. The following year, the remaining Beatles duetted with rock band Queen for the album The Queen's Beatles.

The album was followed by The Queen's Beatles II: The Show Must Go On in 1991.

1991-2005
The Beatles released a total of three albums in the following ten years: Peace in the Neighborhood (1993), The Beatles III: The Grey Album (1998) and All Things Must Pass, ft. The Beatles (2001). Sadly, in November 2001, George Harrison died from lung cancer and only two Beatles remained.

In Memory of George Harrison was released in 2005 by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr featuring unheard music by the three.

2005-present
In October 2008, the Beatles released In Spite of all the Danger featuring unheard music from the Quarrymen, the band John, Paul and George were part of before the Beatles.

Six more albums between 2008 and 2020 were released: McCartney/Starr (2010), The Beatles IV: The Rainbow Album (2011), Peace and Love (2013), Hope for the Future (2014), Help! Remastered (2015) and 60 Years (2020).
