John & Paul is a sweeping biography that captures the profound relationship between two young geniuses who reshaped music history. It begins in 1957, when two teenagers from Liverpool, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, bonded over rock & roll. Over the next two decades, they became global icons, crafting some of the most indelible songs ever recorded. Their collaboration was built on more than friendship or rivalry—it was an intimate creative partnership driven by a shared longing for deep emotional connection. When words failed them, they turned to music, pouring their grief, joy, and everything in between into songs that defined generations.
After The Beatles’ breakup, their dialogue continued through music, filled with longing, regret, and affection. John & Paul explores the twists and turns of their complex relationship through the art it produced, offering fresh insights into creativity, collaboration, and the human need for connection. Drawing from recently released recordings and unseen footage, Ian Leslie delivers a deeply moving and revelatory biography that allows us to see and hear Lennon and McCartney like never before.
