Music manager Horst Fascher has died at the age of 90, prompting mourning in Hamburg where he was a co-founder of the legendary Star-Club. His brother confirmed to Bild that Fascher passed away peacefully in a care home on October 31, noting that Paul McCartney remained his favorite Beatle until the end. Fascher signed the contract in January 1962 that brought the then-unknown band to the club, where they performed nightly for several months in 1962. This period is widely credited with helping the group develop their stagecraft and confidence before achieving global fame. Colleagues and authors described him as having made a significant gift to the city by bringing the Beatles to Hamburg.
