Illuminating biography of legendary composer, musician and performer Paul McCartney. 'One of the best stories the past century has to tell' NEW YORK TIMES 'Thrillingly thorough' IRISH TIMES
An illuminating history of this much-loved and legendary musician, Norman gained approved access to his closest friends and family, allowing him to present a detailed and fascinating account of life both during and after Beatle mania, including that of his private life, subsequent marriages and successful solo career.
What's left to reveal about one of the most chronicled musicians of the 20th century? As it turns out, a great deal. With the notoriously guarded McCartney's "tacit approval," Norman sheds new light on well-known Beatles stories and then goes further, forging a thoroughly absorbing account of McCartney's life after the group's breakup: business ventures, parenthood, personal tragedy, the struggle to live and create beyond the legacy of his fabled band. The result is a tantalizing trip down the legend's own long and winding road.
