Their break-up is attributed to numerous factors, including the 1967 death of their manager Brian Epstein, bandmates' discontent of McCartney's leadership of the band, Lennon's heroin use and his relationship with Yoko Ono, Harrison's increasingly prolific songwriting, the floundering of Apple Corps, the ''Get Back'' project (renamed ''Let It Be'' in 1970), and managerial disputes. During the latter half of the 1960s, each of the band's members began to assert individual artistic agendas.
