Los Angeles: Yoko Ono, widow of late Beatlesstar John Lennon has blamed bandmate Paul McCartney for thebreakup of the band.

"The Beatles were getting very independent. Each one ofthem was getting independent. John, in fact, was not thefirst, who wanted to leave the Beatles. We saw Ringo Starr onenight with Maureen Starkey Tigrett, and he came to John and meand said he wanted to leave. George Harrison was next, andthen John," Ono said.
"Paul McCartney was the only one trying to hold theBeatles together. But the other three thought Paul would holdthe Beatles together as his band. They were getting to be likePaul's band, which they didn't like," she added.
