Beatles' ally Neil Aspinall dies
Neil Aspinall, who ran the Apple Corps music empire for the Beatles, has died at a hospital in New York, aged 66.
A school friend of Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison, he was regarded by some of the band as the "fifth Beatle".
In an Apple Corps statement, Sir Paul, Ringo Starr, and the widows of Harrison and John Lennon paid tribute to "Neil's trusting stewardship and guidance".
Notoriously media-shy, Aspinall nonetheless fought hard to protect the Beatles' music, image and copyright.
Road manager
Aspinall also played background instruments on tracks including Magical Mystery Tour, Within You Without You and Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite.
