Once a Beatle: When Ringo Starr came down with tonsillitis, Jimmie Nicol filled in on drums for eight concerts and lived the life of a superstar for ten days. In this photo, Jimmie Nicol is seen sitting alone at the Melbourne airport, waiting for the plane that will take him back to anonymity (June 1964)
It has been 55 years since “The Concert for Bangladesh” performed at Madison Square Garden (1971)
It was organised by George Harrison, and with this event, the Beatle took the first steps towards a successful solo career that continued until his death.
