A day in the life: August 27, 1967. Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, was found dead at his home in London. Jane Asher was the one who answered the phone call breaking them of the bad news in Wales, and communicated it to Paul. Sad, tearful and confused,
The Beatles gave a short press conference and left for London.
John recalled: “We were in Wales with the Maharishi. We decided to accept his invitation to Wales after the conference he gave in London.
“ I was stunned at the news, we all were, I guess, and went where the Maharishi was.. We told him he was dead and everything, and he just told us 'Oh, well, forget it', be happy, like idiots, in family, smile, that's what the Maharishi told us and that's what we did. I got that feeling anyone gets when someone very close to you dies: it's that little hysterical attack, that "ji-ji!
"It enters you for a moment and then suddenly, you start crying, I don't know if it's happened to you." I knew we were in trouble. I really didn't have these weird ideas about our abilities to do things other than playing music, so I was scared. We had her fucked up.
“I liked that Brian and I had such a close relationship for years because I wasn't willing to do things with strangers, I like working with friends.”
