1969: What did Beatles said when George left?

After the "See you around the clubs" famous not last quote.
There's a book with all those details as well as saying what Paul McCartney said about Yoko on meetings. Civilized.

Quoting:
"An upcoming Beatles biography by John Harris – titled Get Back, which details The Beatles' final few quarrelsome days as a band – has revealed private conversations between Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Yoko Ono following George Harrison's five day leave from the group in 1969. 

The book is being released to coincide with the release of Peter Jackson's docuseries of the same name.

Harris, who was handed hundreds of hours of recordings as part of the project, has waded through the content to untangle what really happened during the band's unseen moments. Now, he has shared the story of what really went down when Harrison temporarily walked out of the band on January 10 in 1969 after a difficult morning of butting-heads while working on the tracks Get Back and Two Of Us – when the guitarist apparently quit by simply stating "see you around the clubs".

1969: Radio Peace song from Lennon...

... goes for auction:
Quoting:
"(...) The duo also performed a short tune called Radio Peace. It was written as a theme song for a radio station, Mr Hoejen tells the BBC.

"The radio station was never opened and the song was never released," he adds. "To our knowledge the only place where this song exists is on our tape."

'A recording like this is rare'
The recording was made just months before The Beatles announced their break up.

Decades later Mr Hoejen realised he was sitting on a valuable item and put the tape in a bank vault.

Now the old-fashioned cassette is on sale at Denmark's main auction house, Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen, together with an original copy of the school newspaper and 23 photographs."

1975: This guitar can't keep from crying?

... Yes. George Harrison made a song mentioning the Rolling Stone magazine, a sequel of While my Guitar Gently Weeps, quoting:
"George Harrison's 1975 song "This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)", a lyrical sequel to his Beatles track "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (1968), references the magazine in its second verse: "Learned to get up when I fall / Can even climb Rolling Stone walls". The song was written in response to some highly unfavorable reviews from Rolling Stone and other publications for Harrison's 1974 North American tour and the Dark Horse album."

2021-09: Iron Maiden's drummer and...

... Ringo Starr!
https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/iron-maidens-nicko-mcbrain-picks-the-beatles-ringo-starr-as-his-rock-god/

Quoting:
"IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain was the featured guest on BBC's "The Rock Show With Johnnie Walker" during the "Rock God" segment. Nicko picked THE BEATLESRingo Starr and stated about his choice: "I've chosen Ringo because he was the very first drummer that really influenced me in my genre of music. I started off listening to Dave Brubeck when I heard Joe Morello playing, but Ringo was my first hero. In fact, when I was 12 years old — in fact, I was 11 — I had a poster of Ringo in my bedroom. He was looking over the left side of his drum set over his hi-hats, and I every night would go to sleep thinking, 'That is the man. That is the guy I wanna be like.' And he really did kick off my drumming career. One other thing is I got to meet him three years ago when he played down here in Fort Lauderdale — the first time after all of those years that I got to meet my hero.""
