Chapter 4
Aftermath
News of The Breakup Of The Beatles devastated fans around the world, but fortunately for them, all four of them had thriving careers as solo artists and with other bands. All of them had hits at some point or another, but the releases of The Beatles would always overshadow their work. And insane fan murdered John Lennon outside of his apartment building On December 8, 1980. George Harrison died from lung cancer On November 29, 2001. Paul McCartney died in 1966. Just Kidding, he's still kicking it. In fact, both he and Ringo Starr are still preforming and releasing music, and recently reunited to record a song that John Lennon wrote the last year of his life, and played a couple songs live together last summer in Los Angeles. Though there were many Beatles compilations and films in the decades since the band broke up, a couple big ones of note were The Beatles Anthology and 1. The Beatles Anthology was a television documentary, set of double albums and a book that examined the history of the band in way more depth the story has, and released in 1995. Oh and McCartney, Harrison, and Starr were involved with the whole process. 1 was a compilation of all the band's #1 singles. It came out November 13, 2000, and ended up being the best selling album of the decade, eventually selling more than 31,000,000 copies. So of course The Beatles were inducted in The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. But also, all 4 individual members have been inducted in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
