The Beatles: Ringo Starr's reaction to replacing Pete Best - 'I was a better player'

After spending two years in Germany with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, Pete Best was kicked out of The Beatles 59 years ago today on August 16, 1962. After Pete was removed from the band the remaining members of the Fab Four hired Ringo Starr to fill his spot.

Ringo at the time was performing with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, but was called up by Paul who had an offer he couldn't refuse.

The drummer settled into the band rather quickly, going on to record some songs with them almost as soon as he joined.

Pete, on the other hand, went back to Liverpool.
