Alistair Taylor -- Brian's Epstein's "Mr. Fixit," has died

A note from Martin Lewis:

Someone who worked with the Beatles for several years suddenly passed away this morning

Alistair Taylor - who was Brian Epstein's personal assistant and subsequently General Manager of Apple.

He was an integral part of the Beatles/NEMS/Apple structure from December 1961 till late 1969.

To the best of my knowledge - all of the Beatles had quite an affection for Alistair.

Alistair remained very faithful to the Beatles. Wrote two or three memoirs. Always affectionate. Never said or published a negative word.

He was taken to a hospital early this morning - suffering from shortness of breath. Exact cause of death not yet known.

He was 68 or 69. He is survived by his wife Lesley. Alistair and Lesley did not have children.

Mark Lewisohn writing new Beatle book

Mark Lewisohn has confirmed for us that he is working on a multi-volume Beatle biography. "Yes, this project is happening," he told us in an email. "It has evolved from my original plan to
write an entire biography on 1963 alone."

"This is an exacting task which will occupy me for many years to come, but I
am tremendously excited by the challenge."

"Web reports that Crown Books have signed up the US rights are correct, as is
the stated structure of the project (1940-63, 64-67, 68-Now). I believe
Crown will be issuing some kind of press statement to the trade this coming
week. Time Warner has the UK rights."

A Gerry update ...

Several people have asked us for updates on Gerry's condition. Frankly, there hasn't been a lot to say, but here's an excerpt of the latest update my sister, Gina, sent out to family and others via email:

After an evaluation on Tuesday from the hospital in Corona, it was decided that although Gerry was able to qualify for a move to Corona, his needs would better be served by Kindred Hospital in West Covina. Lori (Gerry's wife) then spent much of the day negotiating with the insurance company and the hospital to allow Gerry to be moved to Kindred's Ontario facility instead, which is closer to home. The closer he is to home, the more time family will be able to be with him, which is essential to Gerry's progress. Tuesday night, Gerry was moved to the ICU at Kindred Hospital in Ontario (address 550 N. Monterey Ave. Ontario, CA 91764). We thank God for this answer to prayer! Although this facility is about twice as far as the Riverside hospital, we are so grateful not to have to go as far as L.A., and it is where he needs to be right now. Kindred is a rehabilitation hospital with step down units and special doctors and specialists to offer the care that he needs like follow up care for his facial reconstruction surgery and dislocated shoulder, etc. They also have rehab specialists who will work with him on coma arousal therapy where they will try to stimulate his five senses. ... We've met and talked to his new doctors, nurses and therapists, and are very encouraged by their commitment and care. We heard again today that it is the norm for an injury like Gerry's to take a long time for rehabilitation, and that it rarely happens like in the movies where a person wakes up fully recovered.

We continue to see baby steps of improvement. Gerry's eyes continue to open and blink at different times. It is the times when his eyes will actually connect with one of us that are considered the very short periods of alert times that we need to grab onto and work with him with the simple commands I mentioned earlier. His facial movements have increased greatly. And, in the past couple of days, Gerry moved his feet when we scratched or tickled them with our nails!

Lori said it seems that Gerry may stay in this hospital for a couple of months or so, and then may be moved to the Corona hospital. Of course, things can change from day to day, so we continue to pray and ask your prayers also for the quality of care that Gerry is receiving at this new hospital and prayers for his care givers as well. Also prayers for guidance for all the decisions that Lori needs to face currently regarding Gerry's day to day care and in the future.

Paul McCartney gives surprise performance at Lake Tahoe restaurant

Maybe it pays to hang around Lake Tahoe: Paul McCartney gave his second impromptu performance at a Lake Tahoe restaurant Monday night -- the same place he did it in February, 2003, reports AP. He told patrons at Moody's Bistro and Lounge in the old Truckee Hotel he was an "unscheduled guest." About 70 people heard the performance, which included "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" with the George Souza Trio and "Tahoe City" -- the song "Kansas City" with the lyrics altered.

BREAKING NEWS!: MACCA ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN SUMMER TOUR

Posted today at www.paulmccartney.com and sent to us by Bill King of Beatlefan:

OH YEAH! MACCA'S BACK TO ROCK WITH EUR-"O4 SUMMER" TOUR

27.02.2004

McCartney’s NEW “04 Summer� Stadium Tour Gets Macca Here, There And Somewhere’s He’s Never Been

The wait for summer is over and so is the wait for the legions of PAUL McCARTNEY fans whose cities have NEVER played host to a night of history Macca-style. Set to kick-off on Tuesday, May 25th at Gijon’s El Molinon Stadium, Macca’s NEW, 13-city “04 Summer Tour� will be highlighted with 7 first-time performance visits as well as 5 concerts in cities that haven’t rocked with him since 1989’s “Get Back World Tour� or 1993’s “New World Tour�.

“Touring really has been a lot of fun for us and the audiences have been great,� said McCartney. “So why stop now? I’m looking forward to playing and to visiting some new places.�

The all-stadium “04 Summer Tour�, which will feature music from The Beatles, Wings and McCartney’s solo career, is currently set to play to nearly 700,000, which would bring to more then 3 million, who have seen McCartney since his return to the road in April 2002.

Among many of the highlights of “04 Summer Tour� are sure to be Macca’s return to Russia, for a special performance in St. Petersburg’s Palace Square, as well as his first-time visits to Lisbon, Leipzig, Prague and Horsens before closing out the all-stadium tour with a special appearance at The Glastonbury Festival.

In addition, Macca is looking forward to performances in Madrid, Gothenburg, Zurich, Oslo and Helsinki, cities that haven’t seen him in more then a decade. A return to Paris is also planned for Thursday, June 24th, where McCartney’s critically hailed “Back In The World� Tour began last March.
