This Day in Rock History - June 3rd

1964: Just days before the start of an already booked world concert tour, Ringo Starr collapses from acute tonsillitis and is rushed to a hospital. The Beatles scramble to find a replacement, settling on sessions drummer Jimmy Nicol.

Nicol is in turn rushed into rehearsal with the band. When he’s constantly asked how it’s going on tour, Nicol always replies “It’s getting better.” That eventually inspires Paul to pen a song that finds its way onto the Sgt. Pepper album.

Nicol continues to live the high life after he leaves the band and is forced to declare bankruptcy in 1965. Eventually, he gets back on his feet and goes into real estate (or property investment as it’s known in the UK). He is still around today.
