The End – Simon Halfon

Send us Fan Mail

Art director and filmmaker Simon Halfon discusses The End, from Abbey Road, picking out the three guitar solos Paul, George, and John played live in one take, Ringo's only drum solo, and the closing line that makes such a perfect sign-off. He also talks about 1967: The World of Brian Epstein and The Beatles, the book he made with Gary Kemp from Epstein's last address book.
