In 1966, during the phenomenon of Beatlemania, something went horribly wrong for the Beatles - something that forced them to stop touring at the height of their fame, while the Rolling Stones and other extremely successful rock stars would go on to tour for decades. The Beatles could not speak publicly about what had gone wrong without serious consequences not only for their careers, but also for their lives. Yet they made sure that the story of what happened would eventually be exposed.
They turned their secret story into an intricate puzzle made up of hundreds of interconnected clues, and those clues are embedded throughout every album, single record, video, and movie they created from late 1966 until the group broke up in 1970. Most of that puzzle remained virtually unsolvable for decades. In recent years, though, an elaborate disclosure process surrounding Sir Paul McCartney has revealed so much of the Beatles' hidden history that the puzzle can now be solved.
This book presents a solution to that puzzle and finally exposes the Beatles' story. The story answers many questions that Beatles fans have long wondered about. For instance, why did the Beatles really stop touring in 1966? The public was given reasons, but never the truth. Why, too, did many fans eventually come to believe that Paul McCartney had been replaced in 1966? If he was replaced, then what exactly happened to the original James Paul McCartney?
The story that the Beatles embedded into their works answers these questions, and more as well, but it also reveals that the long-circulated rumor that Paul McCartney died in a car accident is false. As readers learn the far more shocking secret of what really happened to the Beatles, their so-called "gibberish" lyrics from the psychedelic era will finally make sense. The confusing lyrics of songs such as "I am the Walrus," "Glass Onion," and "Come Together" are not just clever nonsense. They have very definite meaning.
