No comprehensive biography of the time Paul McCartney spent with
Wings has ever been published. A period often dismissed as
McCartney's 'missing' years, in fact the band lasted for a decade:
two years longer than the Beatles, and wielded such impact and
influence that they at one point achieved the status as the biggest
live band in the world. Band on the Run sold over 6 million copies
worldwide and became EMI's biggest selling album of the 1970s in
the UK. Music biographer Lesley-Ann Jones has met McCartney many
times and knew his late wife Linda. Here she shows how crucial
Linda was to the evolution of Wings - at great cost to herself
given the ridicule she was to encounter. But Linda saw that
McCartney needed the band in the wake of the break up of the
Beatles. Drawing on extensive interviews and her trademark
meticulous research, the author shows how this period in Paul
McCartney's career was to become crucial not only to his
development as an artist, but to his very survival.
