Brian Epstein Dies


After The Beatles stop touring, Brian Epstein finds it difficult to adapt. He now has less to do and worries more. His homosexuality makes him an obvious target for blackmail.

Brian increasingly relies on medication to relieve depression and insomnia. On August 27, 1967 died of an accidental prescription overdose.




This shocking news came while The Beatles were at a weekend in Wales. They were preparing to study transcendental meditation with an Indian mystic, the Maharshi Yogi.
