One of the last two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney has shared a post on Instagram and Twitter revealing that The Beatles had refused to perform in front of a segregated audience in 1964 in Jacksonville, Florida.
McCartney, 77, said he and fellow band mates - John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - refused to play the gig at the Gator Bowl after discovering "it was going to be a segregated audience".
