THE BEATLES

The Beatles were a rock and pop group formed in Liverpool, England in 1960. During their years of stardom, the band consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals, piano), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals), and were managed by Brian Epstein until his death in 1967.

In March 1957, John Lennon formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen. In July of the same year, Lennon met Paul McCartney, who agreed to join as a guitarist. McCartney invited George Harrison to watch the group during February 1958, and Harrison joined as lead guitarist.

Their clothes, style and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

On the night of 8 December 1980, at around 10:50 pm, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in the back four times in the entrance of the Dakota apartment building in the presence of Lennon's wifeYoko Ono and others.

Harrison died on 29 November 2001 at a Hollywood Hillsmansion that was once leased by McCartney and was previously owned by Courtney Love. His death was listed on his Los Angeles County death certificate as "metastatic non-small cell lung cancer".

John Lennon say: "Please Give Peace a Chance"..

The Beatles will always in our heart no matter what happen, they always unforgotten forever and ever..
