The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatles beloved roadie, assistant, confidant and friend A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Malcolm Mal Evans was an invaluable member of the Beatles inner circle. Serving as their long-time roadie, personal assistant and protector, he was a sometime lyricist, occasional performer and regular fixer at the height of the groups fame and beyond. But Mals dedication to his beloved boys and his own desire for stardom took its toll, leading to the dissolution of his marriage and his untimely death in January 1976. Until now, Mals extraordinary life has remained shrouded in mystery. Drawing on hundreds of exclusive interviews and with full access to Mals unpublished archives including his personal diaries, manuscripts and memorabilia renowned Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack paints the first complete portrait of this complicated figure at the heart of the Beatles story. Living the Beatles Legend is a fascinating but ultimately tragic tale about life at the edges of superstardom.
