He must be, what, about 80? I know Stu Sutcliffe died a long time ago. That movie "Backbeat" was about him.

Got his own website too:

An article I found dated ten years ago said he was 68, which would make him 78 today.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
