The newspapers were for months full of speculation about the end of the band, which begins in 1960 with a commitment in the Hamburg club itself into a unique world by storm and millions of fans with hits like "Let It Be," "Help" and "Yesterday" replied with enthusiasm .
The beginning of the end was Lennon in the mid-60s was more frustrated because the fans of the group in almost mentally deranged loose followed. "We could have four wax figures stand by us and the masses would have been satisfied. The Beatles have "nothing more to do with music, he said 1965 Beatle Mania.
