By Lesley-Ann JonesFly Away Paul: How Paul McCartney survived the Beatles and found his Wings book by Lesley-Ann Jones
'No other book has come close to capturing so well what Paul McCartney is about, nor described so vividly his mental breakdown when the Beatles separated, nor his need for Linda to nurse him back to good health... fascinating; an extraordinarily brilliant book.' SIMON NAPIER-BELL 'Brava. ' ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM 'The most brilliant journalism ... Captivating.' STEVE HARLEY, COCKNEY REBEL 'Amazing... meticulous ' JOHNNIE WALKER The first definitive account of Paul McCartney's time in Wings. No comprehensive biography of the time Paul McCartney spent with Wings has ever been published. A period often dismissed as McCartney's 'missing' years, in fact the band lasted for a decade: two years longer than the Beatles, and wielded such impact and influence that they at one point achieved the status as the biggest live band in the world. Band on the Run sold over 6 million copies worldwide and became EMI's biggest selling album of the 1970s in the UK. Music biographer Lesley-Ann Jones has met McCartney many times and knew his late wife Linda. Here she shows how crucial Linda was to the evolution of Wings - at great cost to herself given the ridicule she was to encounter. But Linda saw that McCartney needed the band in the wake of the break up of the Beatles. Drawing on extensive interviews and her trademark meticulous research, the author shows how this period in Paul McCartney's career was to become crucial not only to his development as an artist, but to his very survival.
