About this product
Product Information
A poignant memoir of the forgotten Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe, and a remarkable account of the early days of the world's most influential pop group.Stuart Sutcliffe is the most famous contender for the crown of 'fifth Beatle'. One of the founding members, a close friend of Lennon, he left the band after their Hamburg sojourn in order to pursue his promising career as an artist, dying shortly thereafter of a brain haemorrage. For years his sister Pauline has tried to protect his memory against the Beatles' need to sanitise their early history and now she is ready to tell the real story. In doing so she sheds new light on their formative period - the rivalry with McCartney, how George Harrison tried to keep the peace, the truth about Stuart's intense relationship with Lennon and why Lennon was haunted by guilt over her brother's death. And she describes what it was like for those like herself and Cynthia Lennon who have lived with the Beatles in their lives all their lives, although this was not of their choosing.Drawing on her own memories as well as the many letters in her possession, Pauline Sutcliffe shares her unique insight into the young men who became the Beatles. But above all this book is a loving tribute to Stuart, who died at the age of twenty-one, but whose contribution to the Beatles lives on.Product Identifiers

Stuart Sutccliffe and his lonely hearts club
A really good book. I was interested in Stuart more as an Artist rather than as an original member of The Beatles. It is an interesting Biography written by Stuart's sister Pauline. It Is interesting to note that Stuart has all but been erased from The Beatles Story but had he lived, he would have been huge in the Art World. It's sad, how the Beatles basically dismissed Stuart (and Pete Best) from their history. Stuart deserves his place in history. Sad, his mum never recovered from his death at age 21 in 1962. I can understand why his sister is a little bitter towards the Beatles. Check out Stuart's Art work, he was decades ahead of his time!!! A good story....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
