TIL that Mal Evans, The Beatles' road manager, was shot and killed by the police in 1976. None of The Beatles attended his funeral. (en.wikipedia.org)

Evans was all over Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary, efficiently keeping the machine running in so many ways: fetching food, and cigs, writing down lyrics during songwriting sessions, somehow coming up with an anvil for Maxwell's Silver Hammer, arranging for George Harrison to get new shoes, and on and on. Hard to understand why none of the Beatles attended the funeral, though George Martin did show up.
