THE ALBUM, THE BEATLES AND THE WORLD IN 1967 This book recaptures all the excitement surrounding the recording, release and legacy of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – often lauded as the most popular Beatles album – while also assessing the impact it had on the world at the time and subsequently. The book is divided into two parts: the first all about the band, the album and the recording process; the second, about the enormous cultural and political changes, and how the world was transformed in ways that still affect us today.

MUSIC MEETS ART: THE COVER Groundbreaking and visually stunning, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band blew the hinges off traditional album covers. In 1967, the era of powerful and striking visualization of music had arrived. For the ﬁrst time, music could now be seen and heard.

WITH AMAZING IMAGES OF THE WORLD’S HOTTEST POPSTAR

A Number One album in nine countries, 1.5 billion views on YouTube and a world tour that sold out in six minutes – Canadian Shawn Mendes is no ordinary singersongwriter. Mendes was discovered on the videosharing platform Vine in 2013 after posting a string of six-anda-half second covers of One Direction, 5SOS and Justin Bieber, which gained him legions of fans (the Mendes Army). His first single “Life of the Party” was released in June 2014 through Island Records and he became the youngest artist to debut in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 25 with a first chart entry. In July his four-track debut EP, The Shawn Mendes EP, reached Number One on iTunes in 37 minutes. Following this incredible success, his second album Illuminate went to Number One in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, USA and Canada in September 2016.

HANDWRITTEN IN THE STARS

Don’t let Shawn’s handsome and baby-faced looks fool you, the singer is wise and mature beyond his teenage years. With a square jaw that could chisel diamonds and large brown eyes that act like tractor beams, it’s no surprise that the singer-songwriter is making waves, not only as the biggest songwriting talent of 2016, but also as a sex symbol for his millions of fans – girls and boys of all ages. Between the release of his debut album Handwritten in 2015 and Illuminate in 2016, Shawn has been busy being a rising star, but his songs have helped him keep his feet firmly on the ground. The success of Handwritten made Shawn the youngest artist since Justin Bieber to have a No.1 album. It was a lot of pressure for someone still so young. Imagine being No.1 at 15! “This is all happening so fast,” Shawn admitted in an interview in 2015. “A few months ago I wasn’t this popular and people didn’t know about my music, and now all of the sudden there are screaming girls down the block. They’re singing my songs live. It’s unbelievable.” For Handwritten, Shawn knew that in order to be more than just a “teenage artist”, he had to write his own songs. He had to be credible. “Ed Sheeran wrote his songs, so I wanted to write my own songs,” Shawn recalled. “I was just really eager and really excited to make music,” Shawn remembers of his debut album’s recording. His manager, Andrew Gertler, agreed: “Shawn had written a bunch of songs on his own. From the very beginning, he was set on the fact that he was going to write his own music and that he was a songwriter. When we heard some of these songs, everyone’s ears perked up. He was so naturally talented.”

fun,” he said. Prior to the release of The Shawn Mendes EP in 2014 and signing to Island Records, Shawn toured many cities of North America as a member of the MAGCON Tour, alongside other young and emerging social media stars. The MAGCON (Meet and Greet Convention) family, which included artists such as Nash Grier, Cameron Dallas, Matt Espinosa, Taylor Caniff, Aaron Carpenter, Carter Reynolds, Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky – if you don’t already know – is a group of boys aged 15 to 19 who are blowing up on social media. Many of the stars are “Vine Famous”, and the MAGCON tour provides the perfect opportunity for them to meet their thousands of fans. Before the MAGCON family tour whisked Shawn away from his real family, Shawn played his first ever concert was on 26 October 2013. “First time I played to an audience was this random day in Toronto where a couple people from Vine were going to meet their

fans,” he recalled. “That’s when everything went from something impossible to a very tangible dream.” During all of Shawn’s previous tours – ShawnsFirstHeadline and Shawn Mendes World Tour – as well as the Live on Tour with Austin Mahone and even as Taylor Swift’s support act for her 1989 tour, there has been one consistent factor at every show: the cries of “We want Shawn! We want Shawn!” from the crowd. But now, out on his own massive world tour, these cries and screams are even more deafening, prompting Shawn to shout, “I cannot hear myself at all right now. I love that so much.” It was during his now-famous Madison Square Garden show (sold out in five minutes) on Saturday, 10 September 2016, that Shawn knew that he had become a major star. “Standing on stage at Madison Square Garden was one of those moments when I knew I had made it. Just looking around like ‘Woah, this is real’, and seeing so many people there for me. It was surreal and crazy!”

With World Tour rehearsals, award shows, album promo, modelling shoots and keeping his social media updated, Shawn’s life is currently organized chaos. Having come a long way since buying his first ever album – Shania Twain’s Come On Over – Shawn is now entering the most gruelling part of his career: the touring cycle. However, he has a simple pop philosophy to ensure he can handle life on the road. “The way I keep myself sane is by thinking of it as
