Citando:
"Pictures taken in July 1971, a month before New York Concert for Bangladesh 
The intimate pictures are expected to fetch more than £3,000 at an auction 

Candid photographs showing John Lennon and George Harrison reuniting a year after the Beatles split are set to go under the hammer. 

The intimate photos were taken by a music executive in a New York apartment where Harrison asked his former bandmate to perform in a landmark charity concert he was putting on for refugees in Bangladesh.

But soon after the pictures were taken things turned sour between the pair, as the meeting sparked a row between Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono."

2016-08-25: Sobre a saída de JL dos Beatles em 1969 e o fim dos Beatles (Ray Connoly, jornalista)

Citando:
"We were in Canada when John Lennon told me he’d left The Beatles. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
It was just before Christmas 1969, and a few nights earlier, while discussing his Beatles’ song lyrics on the phone, he’d suddenly invited me to join him and Yoko in Toronto, where he was going to meet Canada’s Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
So, there I soon was being driven through snow-covered Canadian fields to the home of rock singer Ronnie Hawkins, where John and Yoko were staying."
