The Beatles

The Beatles. You’ve probably heard of them before, they’re those four teenage boys that brought real rock into our world. This awesome band first came to life in 1957 with it’s leaders; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star. From Liverpool, U.K. to the U.S., the Beatles grew to be hugely popular and their music could be heard in every one of the coolest clubs. Beatles Tours were everywhere, they were the first band to play at a baseball game, and even received medals from the Queen of England herself- the Beatles were awesome. They completed a total of 13 albums ending with their ever so famous, “Abbey Road” and the band’s formal break-up December 29, 1974. Somewhere in the 1970s, Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Star all released solo albums which included some of the other old band members but the Beatles were never reunited again. About 10 years later, John Lennon was murdered which denied all hope of the band reuniting. Today Paul McCartney and Ringo Star are still with us (George Harrison died from lung cancer in 2001) and they continue to live on as the amazing Beatles the stole the hearts and ears of everyone all around the world. With movies, digital albums, and even a Beatles exhibit, the Beatles still live on.
