Tony Sheridan, an essential part of The Beatles’ early story, has died. To quote Chris Carter from KLOS’ “Breakfast With the Beatles,” without Tony Sheridan, “we wouldn’t have had The Beatles in the way we did.” Allan Kozinn agrees: “Though Mr. Sheridan’s involvement with the Beatles was brief, it proved crucial to their career.”
