Neil Aspinall (13 October 1941 - 24 March 2008) has died at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC. The ex-Apple Corps Ltd. executive stepped down from his post as chief executive of the company and “guardian of the Beatles’ commercial interests,” last year. As a longtime friend of Paul McCartney and George Harrison dating back to their school days in Liverpool, Aspinall served at the legendary band’s first road manager. He would drive them to many of their gigs in his Commer van in the early 1960’s. A statement released by the remaining members of the Beatles stated, “all his friends and loved ones will greatly miss him but will always retain the fondest memories of a great man.”
