The Beatles dressed in smog masks before a concert

1965

The Beatles dressed in smog masks before a concert in Manchester on December 7, 1965.

In the 1950s and 1960s, smog was a real problem in England.
That same Great London Smog of 1952, which lasted from December 5 to December 9, took from 4,000 to 12,000 lives. In total, there were about 100,000 cases.
