Pictured left to right Pete Best, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Stuart Sutciffe.
Stuart (a very close friend of John's) was the bass player and he died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Hamburg, Germany just before the band' popularity took off . Although he had quit the band to peruse art (he and John were art students together) it is believed John still hoped to get him back into the band at the time of his death barely into his twenties.
Pete was the original drummer and was with the band as their popularity began to rise but he was fired and replaced by Richard Starkey, aka, Ringo Starr just as their popularity began to rocket to the stars. Ringo had sat in with the band in their club days in Hamburg, Germany when he was with the band Roy Storm and the Hurricanes so he wasn't a total stranger to be rest of the band.
