The man often described as the "Fifth Beatle," Neil Aspinall, has died at age 66. Spinall was a former schoolfriend who drove the Beatles blue Commer van in the early days. Aspinall was the accountant who advised the Fab Four for over 40 years.

In a statement from Apple Corps, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr described Aspinall as a “great man” who would be missed. Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison also added their name to the statement.
“As a loyal friend, confidant and chief executive, Neil’s trusting stewardship and guidance has left a far-reaching legacy for generations to come. All his friends and loved ones will greatly miss him but will always retain the fondest memories of a great man.”

Aspinall died in hospital in New York after a brief illness and is survived by his wife Suzy and five children.

Rest in peace Mr. Aspinall.
