JAKARTA - Paul McCartney admitted that Yoko Ono's presence during the footage session of The Beatles was a "disturbation at work".

Ono met John Lennon in 1966 and the couple married from 1969 to his death in 1980.

In a new episode of his new 12-part podcast series, McCartney: A Life In Lyrics, McCartney spoke about his group's feelings for Ono, when he was taken to the studio by Lennon.

"John and Yoko have gathered and it will definitely have an impact on the dynamics of the group," McCartney told poet Paul Muldoon (via The Independent).

Things like Yoko are really in the middle of the recording session [is] something you have to deal with. The idea is if John wants this to happen, then it has to happen. There's no reason not to do it," he continued.

"Whatever disturbs us, it interferes. We will let this go and don't make a fuss. But at the same time, I don't think any of us like it."

It's a distraction at work. We have a way we work. The four of us worked with George Martin. And basically that's the problem. And we always do it like that. So it's not too confrontational, I think we just keep it up and keep it going.
