Thurnham author Neil Nixon has written a book on the world’s most famous band. The
Beatles: Myths and Legends exams the wealth of strange stories and
little known “facts” that have sprouted up around the pop legends.
Mr
Nixon said: “We’ve all heard the story about Paul dying in a road
accident and being replaced by an imposter, but when I looked into the
range of myths and legends around even I was amazed!”
The
book includes a list of records that are widely - if wrongly - believed
to feature The Beatles; one of which even fooled Yoko Ono into
believing she was listening to her dead husband.
It
also identifies the true identity of a man, who did resemble Paul
McCartney, and the details of the real road accident that gave rise to
the McCartney death rumours in the Sixties.
Mr
Nixon, 56, is a self-confessed “music obsessive” and also a lecturer in
professional writing at the North Kent College in Dartford.
He has 25 books under his belt, including two novels written as Stanley Manly.
He
also wrote a radio play, caller Mr Lennon, which imagines what John
Lennon’s life would have been like if The Beatles had failed to secure
that all important first recording contract.
