WHEN the Beatles first burst onto the pop scene in the Swinging Sixties they had distinctive hairstyles.

Over the years, their styles changed – longer during the Maharishi era, shorter during cooler pop decades. However, the surviving Beatles have always had a good head of hair to remind us of how they were.

While Sir Paul McCartney remains a youthful 75 year-old, he appears to have let his hair dye go and is looking much greyer. Although it’s understandable, it’s a bit sad, too. So please carry on holding back the years if you can, Macca, and don’t let it be!
