ESTATE WAS HOME TO LATE DON SHORT FOR 52 YEARS
THE home of a leading showbusiness journalist who was a friend to the stars is up for sale in Purley.
The late Don Short, a confidant to both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, called an exclusive estate his home for more than 52 years and it is now on the market.
Credited with coining the term 'Beatlemania, Don got close to the 'Fab Four' while shadowing them on tour, dining with them in restaurants and riding in their limo.
He was renowned for his scoops such as the breakup of The Beatles, the marriage of Elizabeth Taylor, and the death of Brian Jones.
