Great Lost Band Members # 1 Stuart Sutcliffe


I'm looking for thirty of these. We'll see how it goes. The basic premise is band members who departed their bands for one reason or another in the early days but left an indelible mark on the group they left behind and the question mark of what might have happened had they remained. Stuart Sutcliffe is obviously the original in this respect. Chose art and love over music leaving the bass to McCartney and he and Lennon to forge a closer friendship and songwriting partnership. Sutcliffe meanwhile, unfortunately didn't live long enough to truly enjoy either of the things he'd left for.
