Chas Newby (18 June 1941 – 22 May 2023) has passed away. In Beatles history, we know Chas as the first left-handed bass player in the Beatles, when he stood in for Stuart Sutcliffe for a short period after John, Paul, George and Pete had returned home to Liverpool from their first Hamburg period. Stuart remained in Hamburg with his beloved Astrid and in his absence Chas Newby stepped in on bass guitar for the four concerts the Beatles had been booked for in December 1960. Chas first played in a band called The Barmen, and then went on to put together a group called Blackjacks with friends, which included Pete Best and Ken Brown. It was Best who suggested Chas to the rest of The Beatles. From The Daily Beatle site. webgrafikk.com/blog/

I saw at least one internet story titled "Bassist for the Beatles dead!" I wonder if that caught anyone.
