The Beatles ANGER: John Lennon almost caught in fistfight after historic wedding gig
The Beatles endured a long journey from anonymity to superstardom, and experienced some speed bumps along the way. The fab four were tasked with creating a huge fanbase whilst still making money - but luckily they managed to hit the big time before they really hit dire times. Despite this, not every gig the band played was entirely peaceful, as revealed by Harry Prytherch.
On August 23rd, 1962, The Beatles attended a grand affair as they witnessed John Lennon getting married.
Lennon married Cynthia Powell at the Mount Pleasant register office in Liverpool on this day, according to Beatles Bible.
The website explained that Lennon decided to marry Powell after it was revealed she was pregnant with their child.
His best man was producer Brian Epstein, and it was attended by Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
However things went badly shortly after, as the band were due to play a gig that evening.
The quartet arrived at the Riverpark Ballroom in Chester to play their regular Thursday slot at the venue.
