When:

Short story:

During rehearsals for the album Band On The Run, guitarist Henry McCullough quits Paul McCartney's group Wings.

Full article:

Paul McCartney : Henry was asked to play a certain guitar lick on one of Denny's songs and he refused. Next morning, he phoned up and said he wanted to quit. Henry left over what they call 'musical differences' and it was actually that. We were rehearsing and I asked him to play a certain bit. He was loath to play it and kind of made an excuse about it couldn't be played. I, being a bit of a guitarist myself, knew it could be played. And rather than let it pass, I confronted him with it and we had a confrontation. He left rehearsals a bit choked and then rang up to say he wsa leaving. I thought, 'Fair enough.' So it was exactly the stereotyped 'musical differences'.
