RINGO STARR Life IS GOOD!

THE DRUMMER AND BEATLES ALUM IS HITTING THE ROAD ON TOUR AND PLANNING AN ALBUM OF COUNTRY TUNES

- Russ Weakland

Last year, Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band had to postpone tour dates due to COVID. “It was a bit awkward because the first tour went down. The second tour went down. But we have great confidence we’re going to do all the gigs this year,” Ringo tells Closer.

At 82, the former Beatle is still as excited as a schoolboy to get behind his drum kit. “Playing has never been grueling,” says the musician. “When I’m on the road, I want to play. I don’t want to sit in a hotel and relax for three days. I’d rather play every night, then have a day off so we can get to the next venue.”
