The Beatles: Paul McCartney opened up on final call with John Lennon | Music | Entertainment | Express.co.uk
THE BEATLES were unfortunately plagued with a number of issues. One of them was a continuing spat between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Thankfully, they did eventually make up – but McCartney once revealed what his final conversation over the phone with Lennon was regarding.
The Beatles saw issues with a lot of things. If the team weren’t struggling to come together with their creativity, they were struggling to get on. The introduction of Yoko Ono into John Lennon‘s life certainly caused some issued between him and Paul McCartney, but the fab four were unfortunately forced to deal with many things during their careers.
Over the course of the Beatles’ careers, Lennon and McCartney – who were usually best of friends – struggled to keep their friendship together.
A few instances of bickering left them almost unable to work together, at one point.
Thankfully, they eventually made up, bringing them together before the band split completely.
Despite this, McCartney did one reveal what he and Lennon spoke about in their final phone conversation.

This was, of course, years after Lennon had unfortunately died.
McCartney explained: “The last phone conversation I ever had with him was really great, and we didn’t have any kind of blowup.
“It could have easily been one of the other phone calls when we blew up at each other and slammed the phone down.”

Earlier that decade Lennon himself told of an argument he had with McCartney about arriving at his house unannounced.
Speaking about this issue between then, Lennon explained: “That was a period when Paul just kept turning up at our door with a guitar.”
“I would let him in,” he added. “But finally, I said to him: ‘Please call before you come over.
“‘It’s not 1956, and turning up at the door isn’t the same anymore. You know, just give me a ring.’”
Although these were some stern words, Lennon continued by saying it wasn’t meant in such a terrible manner.
“He was upset by that,” he went on. “But I didn’t mean it badly.
“I just meant that I was taking care of a baby all day, and some guy turns up at the door.”
