Answer
Sorry it took me so long to answer, Alexis.  I never got a notification email!

Anyway, to answer your question...

There were four Beatles.  Two of them, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, are STILL ALIVE!

John Lennon was, sadly, murdered in 1980 by an insane man who shot him.

George Harrison died of cancer in 2001.

Thanks for taking your time to ask me a question!

Expertise

I am a HUGE fan who happened to soak up lots and lots of trivia on her way through Beatle land (I`ve been told I have Beatle radar), so I`m able to answer a question about almost anything!

Experience

I'm a professional music teacher, mainly in vocal music. My particular specialty would be questions on the music theory of the Beatles songs, or ending "who sang what" debates.
