The Beatles
The Beatles - the biggest band the world has ever seen. What's their story?
The Beatles - made up of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison - were the biggest band the world has ever seen. Recording together for just over seven years, setting unprecedented sales, and revolutionising songwriting, theirs was a stardom that burned brightly, but quickly.
So who were the four ordinary Liverpudlian teenagers before they created a band that would change the music industry forever? How did their music, and fame, affect them? And what caused 鈥楤eatlemania鈥� to all come crumbling down so soon, and in such dramatic fashion?
This is a Short History Of鈥he Beatles.
