BEATLES ICON RINGO STARR: ‘I LOVED HER FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HER'

He’s one of the world’s best-known and most loved musicians. Yet away from the spotlight, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr lives a relatively low-key existence, preferring to keep his family life private.

But last week, the 80-year-old rocker, who continues to tour with his All Starr Band, spoke about the one constant in his life for the past four decades – his wife Barbara Bach. “I love the woman,” he said while promoting his latest book, Ringo Rocks: 30 Years Of The All Starrs. “I loved her from when I first saw her at LAX in 1980.

“She was at the airport with a boyfriend and I was at the airport checking in, and we happened to be going to Mexico to do the same movie.”
