Pete Best, the Beatles' original drummer, still doesn't know why he was fired

The reason he was canned was because his mom Mona got pregnant by their roadie Neil Aspinal. That, combined with his drumming made it a very embarrassing and unsupportable situation.

how many times does everyone need to explain to pete best that he just wasnā€™t a good enough drummer. he is still talking about this 50 years later! in any business, especially a band, if youā€™re not good enough, they are going to get rid of you and replace you with someone betterā€¦ itā€™s that simple peteā€¦ sorry man! pete, stop saying you still have no idea why you were given the boot. listen to the recordings with you playing drums, its just not good man. ringo is a really solid, musical, rocking drummer. thatā€™s why the beatles kicked out pete for ringo. itā€™s that simple dude.
