He got a chance to be a Beatle for 100 days at the height of the band's popularity. The story of Paul McCartney's double.
After the Beatles stopped performing at the height of their success, some fans became convinced the singer had died in a car accident.
Rumors circulated that McCartney had crashed and the band concealed the fact, even hiring a double to keep going.
In fact, the band stopped performing and did studio work after the sounds of shouting fans began to drown out their music at concerts.
In Nowhere Man, the Beatles' handlers, such as George Martin, the band's arranger, and Neil Aspinall, their road manager and assistant, orchestrate the hiring.
