Wife on Tour

Cynthia accompanied The Beatles on their first United States tour (more like a visit) in 1964. John insisted to The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, that he wanted Cynthia to come with him despite the "no wives or girlfriends on tour" rule. Needless to say, John got his way! Cynthia is the only wife/girl to ever tour with the Beatles during their touring years.
In 1974, George had his new girlfriend, later wife, Olivia, to come with him during his tour in America.
Pattie toured with Eric Clapton in the 1970s
Not only was Linda Paul's wife but she was also a member of Wings and Paul's solo band(s) and toured from 1972 until 1993 as a keyboard/tambourine player.

Ahh, John looked so happy (and healthy!) with Cynthia. I wish they had stayed together.
