CHICAGO, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- For just 13 days, he shared the stage with the
world's most renowned rock group before vanishing into thin air.
Now, in the 60th Beatles Anniversary Tour Edition of The Beatle
Who Vanished, award-winning author Jim
Berkenstadt delves into the enigmatic journey of
Jimmie Nicol. With a
compelling narrative, Berkenstadt unravels the mysterious path that
has shrouded Nicol since his sudden disappearance in the late
Sixties.
The Beatle Who Vanished -60th Beatles Anniversary Tour
Edition scheduled for release June
11, 2024, is the first historical account of
Jimmie Nicol, a little-known drummer
whose journey from humble beginnings to an improbable climb -
rescuing The Beatles' first world tour from disaster by stepping in
for ailing Ringo Starr - was only
one part of his legend. Though his 13 days of fame made headlines,
the true mystery of Nicol's account is riddled with blacklisting,
betrayal, drugs, divorce, bankruptcy and an eventual disappearance
that leads many to question whether he is dead or alive.
In this edition of the No. 1 Bestseller, released to coincide
with the 60th Beatles Anniversary World Tour featuring Nicol's
memorable performances with the iconic band, readers will uncover
the truth about the drummer's mysterious fate. Delving into the
narrative, we unveil the story behind his reported demise, which
sparked rumors of his death in London during the 1990s and resurfaced again
in Mexico City in 2014.

"Jimmie's story captivated me from the beginning, and over my
sixteen years of research and interviews with industry insiders who
knew him, the intricacies of his life in the world of Rock 'n Roll
became increasingly surreal," says Berkenstadt. "This narrative is
akin to a great mystery, with Nicol navigating competition with The
Beatles, battling Epstein's alleged blacklisting,
globe-trotting in search of a hit record, and ultimately
disappearing."
