Four previously unseen artworks by Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bassist for The Beatles, are set to go on public display for the first time. The pieces, created by one of the band’s founding members, will be unveiled at the Liverpool Beatles Museum on Thursday.
Sutcliffe joined the iconic group after meeting John Lennon at art school in Liverpool, later travelling to Hamburg, Germany, to perform with them. He ultimately departed the band in 1961 to dedicate himself to his art career, but tragically died the following year at the age of 21.
