Neil Aspinall (66), a longtime friend and member of The Beatles’ business enterprises, died of cancer in New York City on Sunday night, surviving members of the band announced Monday, the Associated Press reports.
British newspapers reported over the weekend that Paul McCartney (65) visited the hospital where Aspinall, who was a Liverpool school chum of McCartney and George Harrison’s, was being treated.
"All his friends and loved ones will greatly miss him, but will always retain the fondest memories of a great man," said a statement released by McCartney, Ringo Starr, the widows of Harrison and John Lennon (Yoko Ono), and the band’s Apple Corps Ltd. Company, for which Aspinall had served as CEO until stepping down last year.

I am also glad you ran this. I hope you run more articles of this sort. And don’t fill this website with non newsworthy articles. Like Bill Belichick does a booty check. If you do something like that. You can fill the whole website with every celeb that has done a booty check.
I’m glad you ran this. Neil was one of those people behind the scenes that helped make the Beatles what they were. These people deserve recognition once in a while.
