Since the age of 21, Paul McCartney has lived one of the ultimate rock 'n' roll lives, played out on the most public of stages. Now Paul's story is told by rock music's foremost biographer, with McCartney's consent and access to family members and close friends who have never spoken on the record before.
Paul McCartney: The Life reveals the complex character behind the façade and sheds new light on his childhood - blighted by his mother's death but redeemed by the father who introduced him to music. This is the first definitive account of Paul's often troubled partnership with John Lennon, his personal trauma after the Beatles' breakup, and his subsequent struggle to get back to the top with Wings - which nearly got him murdered in Africa and brought him nine days in a Tokyo jail.
Listeners will learn about his marriage to Linda, including their much-criticized musical collaboration, and a moving account of her death. Packed with new information and critical insights, Paul McCartney: The Life will be the definitive biography of a musical legend.

Critic reviews
"If you’re not a fan of Paul McCartney when you start this book, you will be when you’re done. Narrator Jonathan Keeble recounts McCartney's life story... It would have been criminal to have an American read Philip Norman's tell-all book. Keeble's delightful British accent makes it sound real.... Overall, McCartney comes across as a great musician, caring father, and incredible human being." (AudioFile)

The narrator gave a 10/10 performance. I doubt I will ever forget this book. The narrator’s gift of impersonation is very impressive. This book would absolutely delight anyone who is a fan of Sir Paul because the narrator brings him to life when he reads Paul’s words. Somebody please give this narrator an award! I’m off to find another to find another book read by this narrator.

I highly recommend this book! It's humanizes Mr. McCartney and is a fantastic read or should I say listen!
Narration is also top notch with believable accents. Well done all around I was not disappointed in the least and not will you be.

So many fascinating glimpses into his life but I particularly delighted in reading about his years of living in the Asher household on Wimpole Street in London.
What an impressive human!

Paul's loneliness

My only real complaint is with the choice of narrator. The man has a decidedly “posh” accent, more appropriate for someone narrating “The Times“ than a rock n roll bio. And when he at times delves into mimicking a Liverpool accent, well, that is simply awful. Outside of this major distraction in enjoying the book, I’d give it 4 stars mainly because of the subject matter (hey, it’s Paul!).
Really enjoyable but the narrator is a poor choice
