On June 3, 1964, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr collapsed.

He was rushed to a hospital, where it was discovered he had tonsillitis and required surgery.

Not wanting to cancel the tour starting the next day, the Beatles hired drummer Jimmie Nicol to take Ringo’s place.

Jimmie played eight concerts in 13 days

He was given a gold watch and £500 for his time being a Beatle.

When he returned home, he painted houses, played in a few bands, and went bankrupt.

Then he disappeared.

Because he disappeared, Jimmie is known as the “vanishing Beatle”
