The Beatles were one of the most famous bands in the world by the time 1967 came around. However, this year was to be tragic as it signalled the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. Many would take a long time to recover from such a loss – but what did the Beatles do?
Brian Epstein was the manager of The Fab Four right at the beginning of their careers.
In fact, it had been Brian who sacked the drummer Pete Best, replacing him with the now iconic Sir Ringo Starr.
However, in the days before his death, Brian was, according to Barry Miles’ book Many Years From Now, in the Priory Clinic where he was struggling to deal with insomnia and an addiction to amphetamines.
