Paul McCartney has admitted that The Beatles considered reforming.
The singer, who release his solo album 'Kisses On The Bottom' last week, said that the band met up on a number of occasions to talk about a reunion but decided against it for fear of ruining their legacy.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, McCartney said: "There was talk of reforming The Beatles a couple of times, but it didn't gel, there was not enough passion behind the idea.
"More importantly, it could have spoiled the whole idea of The Beatles, so wrong that they'd be like, 'Oh, my God, they weren't any good'."
He added: "The reformation suggestions were never convincing enough.
"They were kind of nice when they happened – 'That would be good, yeah' – but then one of us would always not fancy it. And that was enough, because we were the ultimate democracy."
