George Harrison was 'bored' by Beatles best-selling album

It is well known that the Beatles had stopped performing live by the late 1960s.

By 1966, the Fab Four were working hard on what would be their eighth album - but they wanted to majorly switch it up. Instead of just stringing together another batch of singles into an album, the band's primary songwriters, Paul McCartney and John Lennon, wrote a concept album: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The album has become one of The Beatles' biggest and best-known albums of all time. Not only did it include such iconic hits as its title track and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but it also housed With a Little Help from My Friends and A Day in the Life.
