Early on, the band consisted of George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best. Stuart remained in Germany after the others decided to return to England, and became engaged to fellow artist Astrid Kirchherr, but he died a few years later of a brain hemorrhage. Later, due in part to Martins refusal to use him on recordings, Pete Best was replaced by Ringo Starr, the drummer from another big Liverpool band known as Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
