It was a band called The Quarrymen, who were the predecessors of The Beatles. It included Paul McCartney, George Harrison and a friend of theirs from Liverpool College of Art called Stuart Sutcliffe.
Lennon first formed the band in '56; at first it was called The Blackjacks, then Johnny and the Moondogs before becoming The Quarrymen. It had a number of members throughout the late '50s, but Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were the central core, and Sutcliffe was the last member to join it before they changed their name to The Beatles. He left the band in '61 to continue his painting studies, and went to study in Hamburg where he died of a brain aneurysm in April 1962 at the age of only 21.
He was replaced by Ringo Starr, but is often remembered as having been the 'fifth Beatle'.
