What connects Paul McCartney's postman and John Lennon's most searing tragedy? The answer is just one of the many astonishing Fab Four coincidences that make CRAIG BROWN's mould-breaking biography the most gripping of all -
I knew about the coincidences mentioned in that article. There are so many more I have noticed on my own over the years:
John, Paul and George each had sons when they were 35. (Ringo, the "outlier" was 25!)
John & Paul's fathers died within 2 weeks of each other in 1976.
John's mother was killed when he was 17. When John was killed Julian was 17.
Linda 's mother was killed in a plane crash when she was 20. When Linda died, James was 20.
Linda married her 1st husband on Paul's 20th birthday. Paul married Linda on John's mother Julia's birthday and he married Nancy on John's birthday. (the last one was intentional though)
Jim & Paul were close in age (54/55) when their wives both died of breast cancer.

Thanks! There are also a lot of coincidences between Linda and Nancy: Both Jewish, American, New Yorkers, had breast cancer, had brothers named John/Jon (Nancy's brother Jon died of a drug overdose in 2008), went to college in Arizona, and lost their mothers early (Nancy was 31 when her mother Arlene died of breast cancer)

Very interesting! If you wrote a book, I'm sure it would be very favorable to Paul and fair. All your information is priceless for posterity!
