John Lennon privately left the Beatles in September 1969, but the news was kept quiet while Allen Klein handled major business deals. Six months later, a Q&A promoting Paul McCartney’s first solo album made the breakup public, and newspapers presented Paul as the man who had ended the band.

Then Paul sued to dissolve their business partnership, making him the visible face of an ending John had already set in motion.
