The Beatles Would Have Reunited If John Lennon Was Alive, Says Alice Cooper

John Lennon disapproved of the idea of having a The Beatles reunion when he was still alive, but Alice Cooper predicted it would happen if the musician was still alive.

The Fab Four offered different opinions about a reunion decades ago. The idea of seeing them in one stage, however, vanished completely when Lennon and George Harrison died.

For Cooper, The Beatles would have reunited at some point if Lennon was not murdered in 1980.

Why Alice Cooper Believes The Beatles Would Have Reunited

In his recent interview on QFM96's "Torg & Elliott" radio show, Cooper shared his thoughts about The Beatles' career after he was asked if he thinks the band would have reunited had Lennon not died decades ago.

According to the "No More Mr. Nice Guy" hitmaker, there could have been a huge reunion despite Lennon and Paul McCartney's fallout.

"Because you are not allowed to talk about their best friends," he said. "They were best friends no matter what was happening in the whole thing. One went one way and one went the other. I think John wanted to be more political; Paul was not into that that much."

Cooper recalled Lennon trying to get him into politics, as well, but the "Schools Out For Summer" hitmaker clarified to him that he was only trying to entertain the world while the late The Beatles member was working on "saving them."

Previously, the rocker hailed Lennon's band as one of his biggest influences, noting that The Beatles' "She Loves You" changed something in him as soon as he listened to it as a child.

Why John Lennon Did Not Want The Beatles Reunion

In the years after The Beatles' breakup, Lennon maintained his desire not to see himself reunite with his former bandmates again although the Fab Four worked together in 1973 to help Ringo Starr on his third album, "Ringo."

At that time, Lennon repeatedly said "no way" to the idea without offending his former bandmates. In one of his interviews, he said he never considered getting back with them again after the 1970 breakup.

"George was just having a good time and enjoying the session... but there was no way I was going back into a band with a bunch of guys and doing that all over again," he told Playboy reporter David Sheriff.
