Ringo Starr talks touring, the The Beatles, his friendship with Paul McCartney

By editorial board on May 28, 2023

The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee spoke to CNN about his current tour with his All Star Band.

“We all have a lot of fun. I mean, I love to play, you know, as a drummer it’s pretty awkward to go out just on your stage on your own. You need a few guitars and I call up friends … I had to stop calling people, otherwise we’d been like an orchestra.”

“Paul called me the other day … We’re close, close friends. We’re brothers and you know, for me it was great because I’m an only child and suddenly I had three brothers that I could love, I could rely on, I could help out. You know, it was a great moment for me.”

“I think it was the spark between the four of us,” he said. ” We understood each other and the music was important. It didn’t matter if we were having a row or whatever, or a laugh, we all gave our best.

“The music to this day, every generation has to listen to us, which is so great,” Starr added. “You don’t have to love us, but you certainly have to have a listen.”

Starr will turn 83 in July. His birthday wish, he said, is for his supporters throughout the world to post “peace and love” on social media.

“I don’t know where it came from, I just said, I’d like everybody at noon to go peace of love. And millions of people are doing it now. How great is that?” he said.

The album features a star-studded lineup of musicians and includes a mix of nine original songs and 21 rock classics. “Paul McCartney sang with me on [a cover of the Beatles’ 1970 song] Let It Be,” Parton said in an interview on the Rachael Ray Show. “I’ve got a lot of wonderful iconic songs that people love and wonderful iconic singers joining me on them.”
