Will Justin pull a Beatles and quit touring

In the cinema, we’re actually going to hear ourselves for the first time. We couldn’t hear ourselves when we were live, as there was so much screaming going on. Paul McCartney before the premiere of Eight Days A Week, September 2016

Night after night of yelling 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' over the screams of teenage fans crystallised a growing disillusionment with the experience - particularly for John and George.
Increasing, playing live became a chore rather than a challenge. Little thought was given to preparation and they hated rehearsing ('we were grown men!' as Lennon would grandly complain later). They were self conscious about their sloppy playing - aware that their famous performance on the Ed Sullivan was pretty dreadful, for example. But there was little incentive for them to put in the work necessary to improve.
Live concerts were also becoming more dangerous. Security at the big concerts was often chaotic and the 'bigger than Jesus' controversy made touring the US tense increasingly tense. A particularly unpleasant experience in the Philippines heightened this sense of vulnerability.
