Beatles press officer Tony Barrow dies

Tony Barrow, The Beatles' first press officer and the man who coined the phrase 'The Fab Four', has died at the age of 80. Barrow represented The Beatles between 1962 and 1968. He wrote sleeve notes for the group's early albums and EPs, as well as the comic strip in the Magical Mystery Tour booklet. He also managed many of their press conferences and public relations, including orchestrating John Lennon's apology for his "We're more popular than Jesus" comments. Our thoughts are with the family of Tony Barrow, Beatles press officer, who has passed away.https://t.co/qNldkIAItS pic.twitter.com/BHxJiwjqNM — The Beatles (@thebeatles)
