| book description |

**MiCannes Award Music Book of the Year** The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatlesâ€™ beloved roadie, assistant, confidant and friend A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Malcolm â€˜Malâ€™ Evans was an invaluable member of the Beatlesâ€™ 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 groupâ€™s fame and beyond. But Malâ€™s dedication to his beloved â€˜boysâ€™ 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, Malâ€™s extraordinary life has remained shrouded in mystery. Drawing on hundreds of exclusive interviews and with full access to Malâ€™s unpublished archives â€“ including his personal diaries, manuscripts and memorabilia â€“ renowned Beatles scholar Kenneth Womack paints the first complete portrait of this complicated figure at the heart of the Beatlesâ€™ story. Living the Beatles Legend is a fascinating but ultimately tragic tale about life at the edges of superstardom.
