Hi,

Astrid Kirchherr is dead, early Beatles-photographer and friend in Hamburg early 60ies

[web.de]

Fabulous photographer. RIP

She took some iconic photographs

RIP. She was in big role during the early Beatles era.

It was great when John used her photo of him from the Hamburg days for his Rock N' Roll album in '75.

That was the perfect image for that record.

RIP Astrid.

We are fortunate she and her camera were present for those early Beatle days.
Her images have become a historical record of that time and place. RIP Astrid...

Ruhe in Frieden Lady Astrid

I read that she'd always kept a picture of Stuart beside her bed. At last, they'll be reunited.

RIP - Verehrte Frau Kirchherr!

The impacts are coming closer!

I was 16 in 1963 and was a Beatles-fan with my left foot and a Stones-fan with my right foot. Later on the left foot joined the right one...

All Beatles-fans knew the tragic story of Astrids and Stuarts love. Stonesman87 has is right - now they will be united again, meeting on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

A Beautiful Women ahead of her time....Thank God she had the camera and how much she shaped The Beatles....Nice that they always stayed in touch more or less...With Stu now....Peace

RIP Astrid Kirchherr


Though the photo of John Lennon was taken by Jürgen Vollmer.

Yikes. You are indeed correct! That's what I get for not checking the LP credits before posting...

Sad...

Whatever happened to Bill's Astrid?

Astrid's photo of John that's really special is the one simply of his face - not unlike the Robert Freeman image used on on the cover of "With The Beatles", but without one side shaded.

Very true - calling her the photographer is really just the part of the story.

Ok,mineral. Precious stone. Heavenly body.

Astrid means star?

Distinctive and attractive name.


(Unlike Bill, Mick or John).
