On April 10, 1962, Stuart Sutcliffe died in the arms of his fiancée. He collapsed during an art class in Hamburg and died in an ambulance - he was just 21 years old.
Sutcliffe was an original member of the Beatles, introduced to John Lennon by a mutual friend at the Liverpool Art College. Convinced to play bass by Lennon and McCartney he joined the band on their much-mythised stint in Hamburg.
Despite his name not being echoed in the annals of music history like the rest of his former band-mates, his short life had a profound impact on the Beatles. Now, 60 years on from his death his legacy is being preserved by the Sefton Park Hotel, in Aigburth, Sutcliffe's family home from 1959 to 1971.
