THE BEATLES FINAL PRESS REALEASE
April 10, 1970



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spring is here and Leeds play Chelsea tomorrow and Ringo and John and George and Paul are alive and well and full of hope. The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you. When the spinning stops - that'll be the time to worry, not before. Until then, the Beatles are alive and well and the beat goes on, the beat goes on.


Paul gave this in an interview for his new album McCartney.
Paul McCartney announced that he was leaving the Beatles on April 10, 1970. (The "announcement" was actually contained in a press release for his new album, in which his declaration of his intention to work on his own effectively served as a notice of his departure.)

The point goes to One_Sweet_Dream for giving the correct answer first. It was part of Apple's press release that the Beatles were breaking up.
