'Fifth Beatle' Dead 

By Lexie Kaye

Neil Aspinall, the man widely acknowledged as the 'Fifth Beatle', has died. He was 66.

Aspinall had reportedly been receiving treatment for lung cancer at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York before his spokesperson announced his death on Monday, March 24th.

Aspinall is fondly referred to as the fifth member of the Fab Four because of his close ties to bandmembers McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.  He served as the former road manager and business advisor for the Fab Four for over 40 years, and even sang backing vocals for the group's hit "Yellow Submarine."

Neil will be missed but I want to know is who YOUR favorite Beatle is and why!
