THE brightest new stars in music played in Liverpool yesterday as one of the original Beatles made a comeback at the Cavern Club.
Hundreds of fans stood for hours at HMV's city centre shop to have CDs and posters signed by US band The Killers.
Crowds also gathered to sing along to Beatles classics with former drummer Pete Best, who returned to the Cavern Club for the filming for a BBC documentary about his early days with the band.
At HMV, Liverpool John Moore's geography student Maryanne Cooper, 18, said: "Me and my friend have just run out of a lecture to come down to meet the band."
The Killers' album Hot Fuss has sold more than a million copies in this country, and new single Somebody Told Me had top-ten chart success.
HMV marketing manager Jason Legg said: "It has brought the shop to a standstill.
"They are a proper rock 'n' roll band and they've got all the glamour of being American."
At the Cavern, Pete Best enjoyed his time back in the limelight.
Of the documentary, he said: "You could say it's about my side of the story. There will be certain things that will put a different slant on what people have been told. It should put a few myths straight".
