The Beatles Were Offered $50 Million For A Reunion Concert And They Said No
The Beatles are a legendary rock band formed in England in 1960. The group is the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide. The members broke up in 1970 and continued their careers as solo artists.
Of course, so many people wished for their reunion and the group was offered such opportunities. Promoter Bill Sargent offered the artists $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. Then he raised his offer to $30 million in 1976 and then, only a month later in the same year, he raised it again to $50 million. The Beatles declined, but not because they though it wasn't a generous offer. At first they considered it, but they didn't like the idea of a man biting a shark in the opening act, so all the members agreed not to do it.
