A new biography delves into the untamed lifestyle of The Beatles during their early years on tour, portraying them as s** enthusiasts who indulged in nightly escapades with strippers and embraced drug use.
According to the book, the iconic band members were so nonchalant about s**ual encounters that John Lennon and Paul McCartney once observed George Harrison losing his virginity to a voluptuous German dancer.
George Harrison candidly admits in “The Beatles Anthology” that obtaining s** in late ’50s England was no easy feat, given the modesty of women’s undergarments at the time.
However, the dynamics shifted in the early ’60s when the teenage boys garnered attention and landed a gig in Hamburg, Germany, where they shared living quarters.
Harrison reminisces that his inaugural s**ual experience took place in Hamburg, with the audience of Paul, John, and the group’s initial drummer, Pete Best.
Despite being concealed under covers, he recounts receiving applause and cheers post the act.
Paul McCartney recollects Germany as a realm of s**ual revelation, recounting encounters with strippers that were markedly distinct from his prior experiences in Liverpool.
McCartney further recalls instances of unintentionally walking in on his bandmates engaged in intimate activities.
He describes such occurrences as part of their close-knit camaraderie, emphasizing the casual nature of their interactions within the band.
Dismissing speculations about John Lennon’s sexuality, McCartney highlights the absence of any evidence supporting such claims among the band members.
In addition to their exploits in the realm of s**, The Beatles also delved into drug experimentation extensively.
Ringo Starr reflects on their reliance on pills and uppers to sustain their energetic performances, attributing their endurance on stage to these substances.
Harrison recounts incidents of erratic behavior displayed by Lennon while under the influence, underscoring the band’s uninhibited approach towards drug use.
The book sheds light on an incident involving Lennon disrupting McCartney’s intimate moment with a woman by destroying her clothing and causing chaos in the room.
This anecdote serves as a testament to the turbulent yet vibrant lifestyle led by The Beatles during their formative years.
