The Beatles’ final live performance was the legendary rooftop concert atop the Apple Corps headquarters.  But one of the Fab Four had to be convinced to do it.

If you’ve watched the documentary Get Back, you saw George Harrison resist the idea, telling his bandmates “I don’t wanna go on the roof. Of course I don’t wanna go on the roof.”

Harrison was already on the outs with the rest of the Beatles, who would break up shortly after.
