Malcolm Evans, the Beatles’ long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the band’s inner circle. After the Beatles’ disbandment, Big Mal continued in their employ as each embarked upon solo careers. By 1974, he set off for a new life in Los Angeles, where he penned his memoirs. But in January 1976, Evans’s story came to a tragic end during a domestic standoff with the LAPD. For decades, Mal's diaries, manuscripts, and vast collection of memorabilia was missing, seemingly lost forever…until now. Working with full access to Mal’s unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Beatles’ scholar and author Kenneth Womack affords readers with a full telling of Mal’s unknown story.
