The Beatles have agreed a deal with music giant EMI to settle the band’s battle for £30m in unpaid royalties.
Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison took legal action in 2005, claiming money from album sales.
“I can confirm that we have reached a mutually acceptable settlement and that we are not going to say anything more than that,” an EMI spokeswoman said.
The agreement could now pave the way for legal downloads of the band’s hits.
