Picture this: September 1969. The band is in a meeting. John casually says, “I’m leaving.” No drama. No screaming. Just a quiet bomb.
He later called it a “divorce.” But they all agreed to keep it secret. Why? They were still negotiating a new record contract. Money makes the world go round, even when the music stops.
John actually said, “I want a divorce.” And that was it. The marriage was over, but nobody told the fans.
