After Epstein's death in 1967, Lennon was the one who is not happy about the actions McCartney who took over leadership of the band. He hated the projects led by McCartney, as the film Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be. Lennon also became the first person violating the initial agreement of the Beatles, that is to not bring their wives and girlfriends in the recording process, by bringing Yoko Ono in the process of making an album White Album in 1968. Lennon was also among the first states to get out of the Beatles.
