Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have stopped the release of Beatles film 'Let It Be'.

Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr stop the release of Beatles film 'Let It Be'.

The 1970 documentary reveals tensions between the Fab Four - Paul, Ringo and
the late John Lennon and George Harrison - shortly before their break-up,
and insiders at the band's record company, Apple, claim the two surviving
members do not want it re-released.
A source said: "There has been talk of 'Let It Be' finally being released
but now there has been a change of heart. The Beatles are still a massive
global brand and it's felt it won't be helped if the public sees the darker
side of the story. Neither Paul nor Ringo would feel comfortable publicizing
a film showing The Beatles getting on each other's nerves."
The film was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and shows the group recording
the album of the same name, which eventually became their final studio
release.
The group's internal relations were at an all-time low during the making of
the LP and recording sessions were fraught with internal squabbles.
George Harrison took exception to Paul criticizing his guitar playing, while
John Lennon appeared disinterested during the entire process - preferring to
spend his time with his wife Yoko Ono.
Although the LP was their final release, the group were so disappointed with
'Let It Be' they recorded masterpiece 'Abbey Road' afterwards and released
it before the much-maligned record.
The source added to Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "People like to
imagine The Beatles were a happy ship but the reality towards the end was
very different as this film shows. There's all sorts of extra footage
showing more squabbles but it's unlikely it will ever see the light of day
in Paul and Ringo's lifetime."
