Summary:
The first full-length biography of
Mal
Evans
, the Beatles’ beloved friend, confidant, and roadie.
"Malcolm
Evans
, the Beatles' long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the band's inner circle. A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses,
Evans
loomed large in the Beatles'
story
, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling mightily to protect his beloved 'boys.' He was there for the whole of the group's remarkable, unparalleled
story
: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art for 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and the famous 'Let It Be' 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 start -- older, married with children, and without any music business experience. And yet he threw himself headlong into their world, traveling across the globe and making himself indispensable. In the years after the Beatles' 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,
Evans
's
story
came to a tragic end during a domestic standoff with the LAPD. For Beatles devotes,
Mal
's life and untimely death have always been shrouded in mystery. For decades, his diaries, manuscripts, and vast collection of memorabilia was missing, seemingly lost forever... until now. Working with full access to
Mal
's unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Beatles' scholar and author Kenneth Womack affords readers with a full telling of
Mal
's unknown
story
at the heart of the Beatles' legend. Lavishly illustrated with unseen photos and ephemera from
Mal
's archives, 'Living the Beatles' Legend: The
Untold
Story
of
Mal
Evans
' is the missing puzzle piece in the Fab Four's incredible
story
