The ultimate missed opportunity: Letter from Paul McCartney inviting drummer to audition for The Beatles up for auction
When it comes to missed opportunities, this must rank as one of the biggest of all time. A letter has been uncovered that invited a drummer to audition for The Beatles – just before a tour to Hamburg that would help propel them to world-wide fame.It was hand-written by Paul McCartney when he was just 18 in response to an anonymous drummer advertising his services in August 1960. Tragically for him, and for reasons unknown, he never got the job.
