After his parents' divorce, he was raised by his aunt Mimi, his mothers sister. He learned to play instruments with his mother, who recognized and nurtured his exceptional musical talent.

In 1955, John began playing music with some school friends, and the group was named "The Quarrymen." On July 6, 1957, after a performance, John was introduced to Paul McCartney, who later joined the group, marking the beginning of their long and iconic partnership.

His imaginative lyrics and experimental approach shaped the band's sound and legacy.

In his personal life, John married Cynthia Powell in 1962, and the couple had a son, Julian Lennon. However, the pressures of fame and John's evolving artistic and personal interests strained their relationship, leading to their divorce in 1968.

Together, they pushed creative and political boundaries, staging "Bed-Ins for Peace" and releasing tracks like "Give Peace a Chance."

After The Beatles disbanded in 1970, John embarked on a successful solo career. His album Imagine (1971) became a global phenomenon, with the title track hailed as a timeless anthem of hope and peace. He also explored deeply personal themes in albums such as Plastic Ono Band.

In the mid-1970s, John took a hiatus from music to focus on raising his second son, Sean Lennon, born in 1975. This period, known as his "househusband" years, reflected his commitment to family life. He returned to music in 1980 with the album Double Fantasy, a collaboration with Yoko Ono, which marked his artistic resurgence.Tragically, John Lennons life was cut short on December 8, 1980, when he was assassinated outside his New York City home.

Paul's father encouraged his interest in music, teaching him to play the piano and fostering a love for melody. Paul also taught himself to play the guitar, despite initially struggling with his left-handedness. This dedication would later lead to his iconic left-handed bass playing.

In 1957, Paul met John Lennon at a church fete, where John’s band, The Quarrymen, was performing.

His melodic genius is evident in songs like "Yesterday," "Hey Jude," "Let It Be," and "Eleanor Rigby," which showcase his knack for blending heartfelt lyrics with memorable melodies. Albums such as Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cemented his reputation as a creative force.

Paul's personal life during The Beatles era included his long-term relationship with actress Jane Asher, which inspired many of his early love songs. In 1969, he married Linda Eastman, an American photographer, who became a vital partner in his life and career. Together, they had four children and formed a deep bond, sharing a love of vegetarianism and animal rights advocacy.

After The Beatles disbanded in 1970, Paul pursued a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with Linda and guitarist Denny Laine.
