IIRC, Stu quit the band and stayed behind in Germany to be with Astrid.   Paul took over bass duties.  If Stu had stayed the Beatles might have turned into The Outlaws with a three-guitar attack!

Bill, tgo

Your first 2 sentences are correct.  Your 3rd is.......intriguing.  ("Hurry, Here Comes The Sundown"?)
