   hello
   
   The Beatles were one of the most popular and one of the most influential musical groups in history. There were numerous causes for their split, and the breakup has become almost as much of a legend as the band itself or the music they created while together.
   
   The Beatles' breakup was not a single event but a long transition, including the cessation of touring in 1966, and the death of their manager, Brian Epstein, in 1967, meaning The Beatles were personally involved in financial and legal conflicts of interest.
   
   Internal dissension arose from the emergence of individual artistic interests and ventures, supplanting group unity and vision. Both Harrison and Starr 'left' the group at various points during 1968-1969 and all four band members had begun working on solo projects by 1970 as the appeal of working together as a group began to wane. Ultimately, animosity made it impossible for both group and individual pursuits to mutually coexist and Paul McCartney made the breakup public knowledge as part of the press release for his first solo album, McCartney.
   
   Although there were sporadic collaborative recording efforts among the band members (most notably Starr's Ringo being the only time that the four have albeit on separate tracks appeared on the same album post-breakup), all four Beatles never fully and simultaneously collaborated as a recording or performing group ever again. After Lennon's death in 1980, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr reconvened for Harrison's All Those Years Ago. The trio reunited as The Beatles for the Anthology project in 1994; using the two unfinished Lennon demos Free as a Bird and Real Love for what would be the last two songs under The Beatles name.
