"The handwritten score, which is signed by Paul McCartney, was due to be sold later with a guide price of £20,000.
But Omega Auctions in Warrington, Cheshire, said it had removed the lot following a complaint from a woman in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
The auction house said an allegation of theft had been made to Thames Valley Police.
A spokeswoman said the allegation was made following a "family dispute" over the score's ownership."

"Unlike the leather boots worn by the rest of the Fab Four, Starr had his own suede versions of the distinctive pointed-toe footwear with a lower heel.
This was so he could use the pedals of his drum kit while performing on stage.
The sale has been organised by The Beatles Shop in Liverpool. Its owner estimates the boots will fetch up to £5,000 in the 26 August auction.
The size-seven boots were given to a family friend by Starr's mother and stepfather in the 1960s and have remained in his possession ever since."

"The negatives, which date from February 1970, capture Lennon at a pivotal point in his career - The Beatles were breaking up and he had recently released his third single, Instant Karma.
It became the first solo single by a member of the iconic rock band to sell more than a million copies in America.
Ms Glover said the negatives and images taken from them would be on display at the attraction from November, before being auctioned in 2018.
She added that the valuation day had also uncovered a signed Beatles Christmas Show programme from a concert in Bradford in 1963, which was valued at £8,000, and a signed John Lennon postcard, which was estimated to be worth £5,000."

"“Rest in peace Fats Domino, the great rock ’n’ roll pianist and singer who thrilled us in our early days in Liverpool,” he writes. “His hit records like ‘Ain’t That A Shame’, ‘Blueberry Hill’, ‘I’m In Love Again’ and many others introduced us to the sounds of New Orleans rock ‘n’ roll. We were excited to meet Fats once in his home town of New Orleans. He was wearing a huge star spangled diamond encrusted watch which was our first encounter with bling! His voice, piano playing and musical style was a huge influence on us and his appearance in the film ‘The Girl Can’t Help It’ was truly magnificent. As one of my favourite rock ‘n’ roll singers, I will remember him fondly and always think of him with that twinkle in his eye. I read that he had eight children. He himself was named Antoine. His kids were named Antoine III, Anatole, Andre, Antonio, Antoinette, Andrea, Anola and Adonica. Now that is pure Fats!”"

"He is the go-to producer for established artists who crave his authentic, warm and detailed sound on their recordings.
This is no surprise given that he learned his trade under the tutelage of the late, great Sir George Martin.
He is famous for his deft influence on the sound of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon and The Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be albums.
Parsons and his songwriting partner Eric Woolfson achieved major success in the own right with The Alan Parsons Project, selling more than 60 million albums.
And with the 35th-anniversary release of The Alan Parsons Project seminal album Eye In The Sky, Parsons grants Express.co.uk a rare and exclusive interview."

In August, Classic Rock followers on Facebook and Twitter were asked to vote for their favourite albums, and were presented with a 200-strong shortlist, to which they could add. The most popular albums added to the original list were Close To The Edge by Yes and Pink Floyd’s Animals.
Other notable points included both Floyd and The Beatles getting three albums in the top 20, while Led Zeppelin got four. Of rock’s biggest bands, perhaps the Rolling Stones fared worst, with just two albums in the top 50 but none in the top 20."

"If you didn’t know, that’s the hotel where John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their second bed-in for peace for eight days in 1969, an act of non-violent protest that involved John and Yoko refusing to move from their beds and inviting press in to hear them speak about peace.
They stayed in Suite 1742, which remained open for booking for years afterwards."

“Sending love to Tom Petty and his family at this difficult time,” McCartney wrote, before adding: “so sad to hear of his passing. What a lovely, intelligent and talented man he was.”
Starr, meanwhile, wrote: “God bless Tom Petty, peace and love to his family”. He added: “I’m sure going to miss you Tom”. See those tweets (...)"
E um artigo da BBC sobre a forma como reagiu (quase sempre compreensivamente) a pessoas com músicas parecidas:

Citando (BBC e a Rolling Stone):
"Petty told Rolling Stone: "I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock 'n' roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry.""
