Get Back Beatles: where the Apple TV docuseries' supporting characters are now. - Slate

Any casual fan could tell you what came of Lennon, Harrison, McCartney, and Starr after the Beatles fell apart, but the series has introduced casual fans to a whole new cast of characters, the musicians, producers, lovers and hangers-on who made the sessions what they were—for good and for bad.

After the Let It Be sessions, Preston released two albums on the Beatles’ Apple label, and released three million-selling singles in the early 1970s.

He then spent several years touring and recording with the Rolling Stones, while also appearing on solo albums by George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr.

In 2018, Pattie held an exhibition in Sydney, Australia that served as a time capsule of her era as a rock muse, featuring Polaroids of the Beatles and other bands including the Rolling Stones, the Who and Cream.

After the Beatles disbanded, Maureen had a brief affair with George Harrison, who was still married at the time to Pattie Harrison.

Having grown up with Harrison and McCartney, Aspinall wasn’t just an employee of the band, but also a confidante.

He’s seen in the docuseries discussing the power standoff of Harrison versus Lennon and McCartney with Lindsay-Hogg and producer George Martin.

He was the Beatles’ first road manager and became managing director of Apple Corps after Brian Epstein’s death in 1967.

Aspinall was known as tight-lipped and was one of the rare instances of someone who was involved in the Beatles universe who never released a book on his time with the band.

He stepped down from Apple Corps in 2007 and died of lung cancer in 2008 at 66 in Twickenham, England—where Let It Be was filmed.

The Apple Corps director is one of the more obscure figures attached to the Beatles, probably most well-known for his name association with “Denis O’Bell,” a character referenced in the band’s song “You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)” on “Let It Be,” or also possibly the recent revelation that he wanted to make a Lord of the Rings film starring the band.

O’Dell left Apple Corps before the 1970 documentary was even released, but is credited as a supervising producer on Get Back.

In 2003, he wrote a book, At the Apple’s Core: The Beatles From the Inside, on his time with the band.

In 1986, James died of a heart attack in London at the age of 65. Aside from the Beatles, James was most well-known for signing Elton John in the late ’60s and the legal battle between the two that ensued, with John suing James over royalties and copyrights.
