Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still alive and working today. John Lennon was murdered by an unstable/obsessed fan in New York on December 8, 1980. George Harrison died from excessive spreading of throat cancer on November 29, 2001.
John Lennon was murdered and George died of cancer

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still alive
John Lennon was assassinated by Mark David Chapman in 1980. He was shot in the back. George Harrison died from lung cancer in 2001, most likely from his heavy use of cigarettes. Paul McCartney and Richard "Ringo Starr" Starkey are still alive.

The first Beatle to die was Stuart Sutcliffe (a drummer) who died in 1962 of a brain aneurysm.

John Lennon was murdered in 1980.

On the evening of Monday, December 8, 1980, 40-year-old John Lennon was shot four times in the back (the fifth shot missed) in the entrance hallway of the Dakota, with hollow-point bullets from a Charter Arms .38 revolver, by Mark David Chapman. Lennon had autographed a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman earlier that same night.

Two bullets struck Lennon in the lower back and two more in his left shoulder. All four wounds caused serious internal damage, and at least one of them pierced in Lennon's aorta. Lennon staggered up the four steps to the security/reception area and said "I'm shot" and collapsed. Concierge John Hastings at first thought it was a joke, but then summoned the police by hitting the silent alarm button.

Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival in the Emergency Room at the Roosevelt Hospital at 11:15 p.m. The cause of death was reported as hypovolemic shock, after losing more than 80% of blood volume.

On the following day, December 9, 1980, Lennon's wife Yoko Ono issued a statement: "There is no funeral for John. John loved and prayed for the human race. Please do the same for him. Love, Yoko and Sean." Instead of a funeral, ten minutes of silence was observed worldwide the following Sunday, December 14, at 2 p.m. ET.

Chapman later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life. He is still in prison, 27 years since his arrest, having been denied parole five times. (He became known to the surviving Beatles and their friends as "He whose name shall not be mentioned.")

Two days after his death, Lennon's body was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. The ashes have been said to be sprinkled around Strawberry Fields, as well as in personal possession by Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono kept his bloodstained glasses after he died.
