Paul McCartney disappeared from public view in the waning days of The Beatles. The bassist, once called an idiot by a musician who covered one of his songs, had long since proven his songwriting chops, but he felt lost as his band disintegrated. Yet the band was still technically together when Paul threw one of his worst tantrums as a Beatle in front of two journalists sent to find him.

The release of Abbey Road in the early fall of 1969 happened just after John Lennon announced his intention to leave The Beatles. Paul fought to keep the band together throughout 1969, to no avail. The band officially called it quits in early 1970.
With no Beatles music to make and no prospects for the future at the time,...

The Beatles‘ friend Astrid Kirchherr was one of the few people who got to see them in their early days. She had a front-row seat throughout their residency in Hamburg, Germany, and witnessed their raw talent many times. The German photographer helped the band too. Without her, The Beatles would’ve had a terrible time abroad. Here’s what happened to Kirchherr, one of the most important people in The Beatles’ early years.

In 1960, The Beatles left for one of the naughtiest cities in the world, Hamburg, Germany. Their first manager, Allan Williams, set up their residency at Bruno Koschmider’s Indra Club and the Kaiserkeller, where German artist Klaus Voormann first saw them perform.
He’d argued with his girlfriend, Astrid Kirchherr, and “wanted to let steam off.

Heather made a brief yet memorable appearance in Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back. As The Beatles rehearsed for their new album, Heather sat on everyone’s lap and contributed cutness. She even gave...

Paul McCartney’s daughter, Mary McCartney, has said that her father nearly got “run over” while they were filming on the famous zebra crossing in London.
Mary, who has been a photographer for most of her career, was discussing her new documentary about Abbey Road, which is celebrating 90 years of the recording studios.
The new film, titled If These Walls Could Sing, revisits the studio that Mary spent much of her time growing up in while The Beatles were recording.
During filming of the documentary, Mary told The Mirror how she’d encouraged her father to cross the famous zebra crossing near the studio in St John’s Wood, pictured on the front cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album.
However, the recreation resulted in a near accident for Paul.
"The bit where the car nearly ran him over on the zebra crossing, that was so funny. As we were leaving [the studio], I said,...

(Welcome to The Daily Stream, an ongoing series in which the /Film team shares what they've been watching, why it's worth checking out, and where you can stream it.)
The Series: "The Beatles: Get Back"
Where You Can Stream It: Disney+
The Pitch: On a very basic level, "Get Back" is a vivid, verite-style, three-part docuseries of recovered and revitalized archival footage that documents the making of The Beatles' final album, "Let It Be." It begins with the band's first day in the studio, and ends a few weeks later, with what they didn't realize at the time would be their final live performance together. This is the gist of "Get Back," but it's not what it's really about.
With a nearly eight-hour runtime that's devoted almost entirely to the day-in and day-out moments of studio life, it's a portrait of creative collaboration in all its intriguing, frustrating, cool, stressful,...

Paul McCartney and John Lennon's sons gave Beatles fans flashbacks on Monday when the two offspring shared a selfie on Instagram.
