Description

He is one of the most famous, most wealthy people on the planet, and yet he remains little-known and understood as a personality. At long last, Paul McCartney is the subject of a major, deeply researched, psychologically acute biography. It tells a story that will illuminate and surprise.The publication finds McCartney – who turns 70 in 2012 – revitalized as a performer (touring with a set of mostly Beatles songs) and a man buffeted by profound changes in recent years: the death of his first wife, Linda; the death of George Harrison; a second marriage, to Heather Mills, and its spectacular failure, the fall-out from which is still crashing around him.

About The Author

HOWARD SOUNES is the bestselling author of meticulously researched and revelatory books of biography, history and true crime, published in the UK, USA, and in translation around the world, including Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life and Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan. He has written widely about popular music and the arts, but his background is as a news journalist, in London, UK, where he was born and lives. He was working as a newspaper reporter in 1994 when he broke the story of the British serial murderers Fred and Rosemary West, going on to write his first bestseller, Fred & Rose, which has sold nearly 300,000 copies.

"The most comprehensive and detailed retelling to date of the much-told McCartney saga." — The Globe and Mail"Fab will never be labeled as blind hero worship. . . . Sounes [is] a zealous researcher . . . determined both to inform and entertain." — National Post"One might think Paul McCartney's life has already been examined exhaustively, but the post-Beatles years–and that's a lot of years–have always been given short shrift until now, in Fab." — The Gazette
