McCartney Times

The late Mal Evans was, in tandem with Neil Aspinall, among the Beatles’ closest contacts throughout the sixties, being tasked with guarding them and lugging their equipment everywhere. Evans was gunned down by LAPD police in his girlfriend’s apartment in 1975 while intoxicated on valium and brandishing an air pistol. This happened before he was able to publish his memoir, Living With the Beatles, said to have been an explosive insider’s expose in the making.
