A poster company in the US has altered a picture of the Beatles to remove a cigarette from Paul McCartney’s hand! Apparently we’re all meant to forget the fab four smoked. The move was made without the permission of either McCartney or Apple Records, which owns the rights to the image. A spokesperson for Apple told reporters: "We have never agreed to anything like this. It seems these poster companies got a little carried away. They shouldn't have done what they have, but there isn't much we can do about it now."
