Despite being perhaps the biggest name in music history, much of the Beatles' split is shrouded in mystery.
As the 1960s drew to a close, individual artistic differences and personality clashes began to cause a divide within the band, which became evident during work on the White Album. The death of manager Brian Epstein in 1967, as well as John Lennon's heroin use and relationship with Yoko Ono also caused further tensions within the group.
In 1969, Lennon informed the rest of the band that he would be leaving The Beatles in September. The final time that the four members recorded together collectively was the session for Abbey Road's final track "The End" on August 18 1969.
