Tony Sheridan, Colleague of Beatles, Is Dead at 72

 


    Tony Sheridan, the British guitarist, singer and songwriter who was the star on the Beatles’ first commercial recording — they were the backup band — died Saturday in Hamburg, Germany. He was 72

    His death was announced by his daughter, Wendy Clare Sheridan-McGinnity.
    Though Mr. Sheridan’s involvement with the Beatles was brief, it proved crucial to their career. 

    Mr. Sheridan lived in northern Germany. In addition to Ms. Sheridan-McGinnity, survivors include three sons, Tony Jr., Bennet and Felim; and a daughter, Amber.
