Brian Epstein: The Life Of Brian

"Brian was a gay man living in a country where gay sex was still a felony. The year he died, 1967, was supposed to be the Summer of Love. But that was only if you happened to be into the right variety of love.

"Naturally I hope our book will be a treat for fans of The Beatles. But what inspired me even more was the human struggle Brian Epstein faced.

"His homosexuality and his attitude to it wasn't the whole story, but it was a big part of it."

Vivek Tiwary, author of a new graphic novel, The Fifth Beatle, in BBC News magazine.

He could have pointed out here the cruel irony that 1967 was also the year that homosexuality was decriminalised in England. 

Check out the all-singing, all-swinging website - they say the book is soon to be a major motion picture.

But there are always rumours that someone's making a major motion picture about Brian.
Last month it was "confirmed" Benedict Cumberbatch will star in a biopic.

Wish someone would.
