Publisher Description

The living embodiment of The Beatles and a musical juggernaut without parallel, Paul McCartney is the patriarch of pop. Ahead of McCartney’s 80th birthday and Glastonbury headline set, acclaimed author Howard Sounes creates the most accurate and extensive profile of McCartney ever built, leaving no stone unturned, and no shadow unexplored.

He is one of the biggest stars that has ever existed, the only key member left from the unquestioned 'biggest band of all time'. But despite the almost unprecedented press coverage he has received throughout his lifetime, the private personality of Paul McCartney remains a source of intrigue and relative mystery to the public.

Spanning the entirety of McCartney's life from early childhood right up to the present day, FAB delves deep into the life of this remarkable and often surprising man, revealing the often dark reality behind his consistently positive, relaxed public image. For the first time, Sounes will examine in detail the lifestyle of one of the richest men on the planet, the truth behind his much publicized divorce from Heather Mills, as well as his tempestuous relationship with the other Beatles, with startling revelations.

Drawing on countless interviews, legal records and public documents, Howard Sounes' meticulous approach and brilliant powers of research reveal the real Paul McCartney, like you've never known him before.

FAB - An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney

Riveting, a must for all McCartney/Beatle fans. An insight into the life of the great man himself from the Quarrymen to Linda Eastman and Heather Mills! From the Cavern to Hamburg and the USA. Warts and all. It both surprises, shocks and touches the heart! The life of a very insecure musical genius. Somewhat controlled by his first wife. He fought hard to prevent the Beatles split. A very misunderstood person and fantastic family man. Distraught at Lennon's death. Macca the musical master. FAB is a fantastic read. By a devoted Beatle /McCartney fan for 50 years!
