From this time until the group dissolved in early 1970, The Beatles concentrated on making some of the most remarkable recorded popular music of the 20th century.

However, The Beatles' financial situation took a turn for the worse when their manager Brian Epstein died in 1967 at the age of thirty-two, and the band's affairs began to unravel. That same year, The Beatles became the first band ever globally broadcast on television, in front of over 200 million people worldwide. Their final live performance was on the rooftop of the Apple offices in London in January 1969 during the difficult "Get Back" sessions (later used as a basis for the Let It Be album). Largely due to McCartney's efforts, they recorded their final album, Abbey Road. The band officially broke up in April 1970, and one month later Let It Be followed as their last commercial album release. Beatles | Monophonic RingtonesDisplaying 1 - 17 of 17 ringtones:
» INFO | did you know? « Any hopes of a reunion were dashed when Lennon was murdered by a deranged fan on December 8th 1980. However, a virtual reunion occurred in 1995 with the release of two original Lennon recordings which had the additional contributions of the remaining Beatles mixed in to create two hit singles, "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". Three volumes (six CDs in total) of unreleased material and studio out-takes were also released, as well as a documentary and television miniseries, in a project known as The Beatles Anthology. » INFO | did you know? « The Beatles had a limited but largely successful film career, beginning with A Hard Day's Night (1964), a loosely scripted comic farce, sometimes compared to the Marx Brothers in style. It focused on Beatlemania and their hectic touring lifestyle, and was directed in a quasi-documentary style in black-and-white by an up-and-coming Richard Lester, who was known for having directed a television version of the successful BBC radio series The Goon Show as well as the offbeat short film The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film - written, produced by and starring one of The Goons - Peter Sellers. » INFO | did you know? « "Dear Prudence" was written by John Lennon while The Beatles were in India visiting the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Among other celebrities attending the ashram at the same time as The Beatles were singer/songwriter Donovan, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, Mia Farrow and her sister Prudence, who was having a difficult stay. Prudence wouldn't come out of her hut so John played his guitar and serenaded her with the song lyrics, Dear Prudence... won't you come out to play? The song "Octopus's Garden" was composed by Starr during a very brief interlude from the band. Upset with disagreements during the recording of The White Album, he went on a short cruise. When he returned the others welcomed him and his new song. The song was recorded for the 1969 Abbey Road album. George Harrison co-operated with Eric Idle and Neil Innes by performing a cameo role in their the comedic TV film about The Rutles, a spoof documentary that affectionately satirised The Beatles' story and the way it had been related in the media. Innes created twenty pastiche Beatles songs with lyrics and titles (e.g. "Ouch!") that gently spoofed The Beatles song canon. Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney (and his wife Linda), and George Harrison were all featured as guest characters on the animated TV show The Simpsons in different episodes over the years. Following their breakup, the only album to feature all four Beatles (although not on the same song) was Ringo, a Starr solo album in 1973. Ringo Starr narrated many of the TV episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine. During 2005, Ringo Starr's drummer son Zak Starkey joined popular rock band Oasis, a group famous for its Beatlesque melodies. He had also been drummer for The Who since 1996, and has been noted for his similarity in performance to the late Keith Moon. The Beatles were introduced to cannabis by Bob Dylan when they met him in their New York hotel room during their 1964 US tour. It is estimated the band have sold far in excess of 1 billion records world-wide. Two of The Beatles were left-handed. Paul is quite famous for it, but Ringo's left-handedness is not as well known because his drum kit was set up for a right-handed person. However, in A Hard Day's Night, he plays darts with his left hand. The group's name was a combination word-play on "Beetles" (vs. "Crickets") and the word "beat" which in the late 1950's and early 1960's had both musical and pop-cultural connotations. The press-given nickname, "The Fab (abbreviation for 'Fabulous') Four", stuck in the public consciousness. The fictional group "The Rutles" were described in the narration of their spoof 1978 documentary as "The Pre-Fab ('Pre-Fabricated') Four". The Beatles famous rooftop performance at the Apple building (5 Saville Row) was halted by police after adjacent businesses made complaints. The Vox amplifiers used by the band were nicknamed "Deaf Aids" by John Lennon. He referred to this in a joking song introduction("Two Of Us") heard on the album Let It Be. Paul McCartney bought his London home (7 Cavendish Avenue, St. John's Wood) in 1965 for £40,000. Paul wrote "Yesterday" and co-wrote "I Want To Hold Your Hand" with John, whilst living with his then-girlfriend Jane Asher at 57 Wimpole Street, London W.1. There is a Beatles museum The Beatles Story in Liverpool, which relates the history of The Beatles - illustrated by a large amount of memorabilia and visual material. In the 100 Greatest Britons poll conducted in the UK in 2002, George Harrison was ranked #62, Paul McCartney #19, John Lennon #8. The last official public concert The Beatles gave in the UK was on 12th December 1965. It took place in the Capitol Cinema in Cardiff, Wales. The venue has since been demolished and replaced with a shopping centre. (The Beatles' impromptu performance in January 1969 on the rooftop of their Apple offices was not a formal concert.) Paul McCartney, who is one of the most famous left-handed musicians, is one of only a few that could play a right-handed guitar (or bass) upside down and reverse to accommodate himself, Paul can also play the spoons with his right hand.
