FAB
An intimate life of Paul McCartney
Howard Sounes
In this authoritative biography, journalist and acclaimed author Howard Sounes builds the most accurate and extensive profile of Sir Paul McCartney, music's greatest living legend. Drawing on countless interviews, legal records and every other possible document, Sounes' meticulous approach and exhaustive research unmask the real man.
From the Beatle’s early childhood, right up until the present day, FAB delves deep, exposing the often dark reality behind Sir Paul’s consistently positive and relaxed public image. The book is full of new material and first time interviews, some with family members from the inner circle.
Among the hundreds of new facts to emerge are: details about Paul’s reaction to John’s death; quotes from Paul’s Hamburg girlfriend; his relationship with Bob Dylan and his surprisingly close relationship with the Queen; a very detailed account of his first marriage, with many new interviews with friends and relatives including Linda’s half-brother Philip Sprayregen quoted for the first time. There are stories of the friction in his family and with fellow Beatles and the sad story of Linda and Paul’s adopted daughter Heather plus anecdotes about their eccentric life in London, numerous drug bust stories; and revelations about his relationship with Yoko Ono and his drinking.
Although there have been previous biographies of Paul McCartney, none tell the full story as well as FAB.
Howard Sounes is well known as an authoritative biographer. His work on Rose and Fred West (Fred & Rose) sold nearly 300,000 copies and his biography of Bob Dylan (Down the Highway) revealed many things about Dylan that were previously unknown - including his second marriage! Sounes, originally a news journalist, also writes history and true crime. He currently lives in London.
