Did Yoko Ono Cause the Beatles Breakup?.

The Beatles changed music forever. But despite their unprecedented success, the foursome's shocking breakup has remained one of rock's biggest mysteries for decades. Over the years, many have pointed the finger at John Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, while others have blamed growing tensions and business disputes behind the scenes. But according to newly revisited interviews with people closest to the legendary band, the truth may be far more complicated. In interviews conducted in the early 1980s, former Beatles insider Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines revealed that the cracks had already begun to show long before the band's split became official in April 1970. After marrying Lennon in 1969, Ono's presence also undeniably changed the band's dynamic. However, even those closest to the story reject the long-running claim that she single-handedly broke up The Beatles. As Gaines even put it, Yoko "came along at the right moment to light the fuse, but the dynamite was already packed."
