Riassunto

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.

Recensione

"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
