Pete Best or the ‘fifth Beatle’ as he is known was replaced by Ringo Starr in 1962. The Beatles were one of the most successful bands in history, and are still, to this day, partly responsible for the influx of millions of tourists visiting Liverpool each year. The Fab Four, as they were nicknamed, were pioneers when it came to a new wave of music in the 1960s. But before there was John, Paul, George, and Ringo – there was another Beatle on the scene. The band’s original drummer Pete Best, is considered by some to be the “Fifth Beatle” – but he left the band about a year before they rose to stardom with their debut single Love Me Do in 1962. Best was born Randolph Peter Scanland in Madras, India, in 1941. His father died during World War II, and his mother was remarried to Johnny Best in 1944, shortly afterwards the family decided to move to Liverpool.
