THE BEATLES - LIVING THE BEATLES LEGEND: THE UNTOLD STORY OF MAL EVANS - HARDCOVER - BOOK
The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatlesā beloved friend, confidant, and roadie.Ā
Malcolm Evans, the Beatlesā long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the bandās inner circle. A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Evans loomed large in the Beatlesā story, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling mightily to protect his beloved āboys.āĀ He was there for the whole of the groupās remarkable, unparalleled story: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art forĀ Sgt. Pepperās Lonely Hearts Club BandĀ and the famousĀ Let It BeĀ rooftop concert.
Leaving a stable job as telecommunications engineer to serve as road manager for this fledgling band, Mal was the odd man out from the startāolder, married with children, and without any music business experience.Ā And yet he threw himself headlong into their world, traveling across the globe and making himself indispensable.
In the years after the Beatlesā disbandment, Big Mal continued in their employ as each embarked upon solo careers. By 1974, he was determined to make his name as a songwriter and record producer, setting off for a new life in Los Angeles, where he penned his memoirs. But in January 1976, on the verge of sharing his book with the world, Evansās story came to a tragic end during a domestic standoff with the LAPD.
For Beatles devotes, Malās life and untimely death have always been shrouded in mystery. For decades, his diaries, manuscripts, and vast collection of memorabilia was missing, seemingly lost foreverā¦until now.
Working with full access to Malās unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Beatlesā scholar and author Kenneth Womack affords readers with a full telling of Malās unknown story at the heart of the Beatlesā legend. Lavishly illustrated with unseen photos and ephemera from Malās archives,Ā Living the Beatlesā Legend: The Untold Story of Mal EvansĀ is the missing puzzle piece in the Fab Fourās incredible story.Ā
