  • Rory Storm (21 September 1939 - 28 September 1972) was an English singer and musician. He was born Alan Caldwell in Liverpool. Storm was the singer and leader of Rory Storm and The Hurricanes, a Liverpudlian band who were contemporaries of The Beatles in the late 1950s, and early 1960s. Ringo Starr was the drummer for The Hurricanes before joining The Beatles in August 1962. The Hurricanes were one of the most popular acts on the Liverpool and Hamburg club scenes during their existence, although their attempt at a recording career was not successful. They released only two singles, the second one being a version of the West Side Story song "America", which was produced by The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein. When Storm's father died, he returned from Amsterdam to Liverpool to be with his mother at Stormsville, at 54 Broadgreen Road, Broadgreen, Liverpool. On 27 September 1972, Storm developed a chest infection and could not sleep properly, so he took sleeping pills. The next day Storm and his mother were both found dead. A post mortem revealed that Storm had not taken enough pills to kill himself, but it was suspected that his mother had, after finding her son's body.
  • Rory Storm, eigentlich Alan Caldwell, war der Frontmann und Sänger der Liverpooler Band Rory Storm & the Hurricanes. 1957 gründete Caldwell, bis dahin Verkäufer, eine Skiffle-Band. Im März 1958 eröffnete er den Morgue Skiffle Club, in dem die Bands der Umgebung spielten, darunter seine eigene Gruppe Al Caldwell's Texans und die Quarry Men, aus denen später die Beatles wurden. Bereits im April wurde der Club von der Polizei wieder geschlossen. Am 30. April 1958 trat Caldwell mit seinen Texanern bei Radio Luxemburg auf. Ende 1959 nannte sich die Band Rory Storm & the Hurricanes. 1960 hatten die Hurricanes ihr erstes längeres Engagement. Von da an verdienten sie ihr Geld als Musiker, u. a. in Hamburg, in Frankreich, vor allem aber in England. Ringo Starr war Schlagzeuger der Gruppe bevor er 1962 Mitglied der Beatles wurde, wo er Pete Best am Schlagzeug ablöste. 1967 löste sich die Gruppe auf. Danach arbeitete Storm als Diskjockey in Benidorm, Jersey, Amsterdam und natürlich auch in Liverpool. Rory Storm starb am 27. September 1972, vermutlich an einer Tablettenüberdosis.
