According to several sources, including the Facebook page of the New York Metro Pipe Band, Andy White — who played drums for The Beatles on their first single, “Love Me Do,” in 1962 — died on Monday, at the age of 85. A native of Glasgow, White had lived for many years in Caldwell.
White also played on The Beatles’ “P.S. I Love You” and the Tom Jones hit “It’s Not Unusual,” and worked with a broad range of other artists, including Chuck Berry, Rod Stewart, Herman’s Hermits, Marlene Dietrich, Burt Bacharach and the BBC Scottish Radio Orchestra. In 2008, he made a guest appearance on the Smithereens album, B-Sides the Beatles, and he worked as a consultant on the 2012 movie “Not Fade Away,” which is about a fictional ’60s rock band.
