1998: Paul McCartney holds a memorial service in Trafalgar Square for his wife Linda, who had succumbed to breast cancer just a few months earlier.
Among the 700 people who attend are George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Elton John and Billy Joel. The crowd sings Paul’s “Let It Be” as a tribute to her life and activism.
1966: A London newspaper The Evening Standard publishes an interview with John Lennon in which he infamously says about the Beatles: “We're more popular than Jesus.”
The remark goes unnoticed until it is reprinted in the American teen magazine Datebook four months later. Massive anti-Beatle protests would break out, mainly across the Bible Belt, including bonfires of Beatles records.
Lennon later apologizes and the Beatles survive the controversy.
