List of members of bands featuring members of the Beatles

Last updated

The Beatles began in 1957, when John Lennon formed a skiffle group with his friends called the Quarrymen. The band underwent many name and membership changes, culminating in 1962 with the famous line-up of Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Contents

After the Beatles disbanded in 1970, each of the four members went on to have success, both as solo acts and with their own groups. Although Lennon died in 1980, the remaining Beatles re-united in 1994 to record new songs, "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", for the Anthology project. Harrison died in 2001; McCartney and Starr re-united again as the Beatles in 2022 to complete the unfinished Anthology project “Now and Then”, which was released the following year. These three songs were written and originally recorded on a cassette tape by Lennon.
