British singer/guitarist Tony Sheridan, an early collaborator of The Beatles, has died. He was 72.

The rocker passed away on Saturday (16Feb13) in Hamburg, Germany. Further details of his death were unavailable as Wenn went to press.

Sheridan is best known for singing on some of the Fab Four's earliest recordings after meeting a young John Lennon, Paul MCCartney, George Harrison and original drummer Pete Best in the early 1960s in Germany.

The Beatles served as his back-up band in the Hamburg club scene, and they joined forces to record tracks including My Bonnie, The Saints and Ain't She Sweet.

A statement from his family posted on Facebook.com on Saturday reads, "Our beloved father and friend! Thank you for your love and inspiration. You left us today at 12.00 pm."

Why didn't this make bigger news?    I check MSN and CNN several times daily and never saw a thing. If it weren't for this forum, I wouldn't have known he'd passed away. RIP Tony.

Zur Erinnerung an Tony Sheridan

Vinyl - Die Tony Sheridan Story (Teil 1 und Teil 2)

Paul McCartney nannte Tony Sheridan einst seinen "Lehrer". Zu Beginn der 60er wohnte der Engländer nicht nur mit den Beatles in Hamburg in einer gemeinsamen Wohnung, sondern er brachte den Jungs auch die Feinheiten des Gitarrespiels bei.

In der Radio Bremen-Reihe "Vinyl" gewährt der Engländer Einblicke in das intime Umfeld der Beatles und erzählt erstaunliche Rockgeschichten, warum er nie Bandmitglied der Fab Four wurde, sondern lieber mit Eddie Cochran auf Tournee ging und dass Angus Young (AC/DC) als Kind bei ihm die Griffe gelernt hat.

Tony Sheridan verstarb am 16. Februar 2013 in Hamburg.

R.I.P., Mr. Sheridan, your music will live on.  I only learned about his passing on February 19th after Ringo sent out a tweet about it.  Sad news, indeed.
His version of "My Bonnie" with the Beatles is one heckuva rocker and also one of my favorites.  "Why" is another great track, imo, and I really enjoy his version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" with his mention of the Beatles in it.
