George Harrison wrote one of his biggest solo hits after The Beatles gave him a 'headache'
The Beatles' break up is a legendary moment in music history, but fans of the Fab Four think they've only just worked out some of the reasons Paul McCartney quit the group on this day in 1970

Fans of The Beatles are convinced they've worked out why Sir Paul McCartney left the band 55 years ago today [April 10].
The Fab Four broke up for good in April 1970, with the band never playing together again after this point. McCartney, who said he was no longer working with the group on this day in 1970 sparked a media storm ahead of the release of his debut solo album.
His self-titled release featured hit track 'Maybe I'm Amazed' but was overlooked at the time due to the reaction to his departure from The Beatles.
McCartney, now 82, would later go on record and confirm the band had more or less ended before his statement, with John Lennon informing McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison that he intended to leave the group.
