THE postcard on the cover of this book says it all. The card was written by John Lennon and sent to his friend Chris Hutchins. On the card's photograph of the Beatles, John had drawn a fifth member - the founder of the group Stuart Sutcliffe who John went on to describe as the best friend he ever had. This is the kind of confidence John, Paul George and Ringo shared with writer Hutchins who they befriended in their days as 'unknowns' in Hamburg. He shared their adventures during the heady days of Beatlemania; he was with them during their American tours in the 60s, sharing their euphoria and their sad moments. It was, for example, at Hutchins' Chelsea apartment that Paul met the actress Jane Asher, who he later became engaged to. And it was Hutchins who arranged a party with Elvis Presley, the man they had always wanted to meet - alas, a meeting which was to cause a cataclysmic feud between Presley and Lennon which the author explains in detail along with how President Nixon and J Edgar Hoover got involved. This is the Beatles story from the inside . . .

Autorenporträt
THE writer and broadcaster Chris Hutchins is an established author of acclaimed biographies of the rich, the famous and the royals. His first, Fergie Confidential*, was an intimate biography of the Duchess of York. He followed this with a revelatory biography of the late Princess of Wales, Diana's Nightmare: The Family*, which so established him as an authority on the royals that he was invited to cover Prince Charles' subsequent marriage for American network television. Next came ELVIS MEETS THE BEATLES* (a meeting which the author arranged), ATHINA: The Last Onassis* and GOLDSMITH: Money, Women and Power. More recently he turned his attention to matters Russian with biographies of PUTIN, the country's leader, and ABRAMOVICH: The billionaire from nowhere. He returned to the royal stage with HARRY: The People's Prince before delivering THE BEATLES: Messages from John, Paul, George and Ringo and most recently ELVIS: A Personal Memoir.
