The Beatles' Ringo Starr: 'Paul Mc. Cartney likes to think he's the only remaining Beatle'By. Cole Moreton. Updated. BST, 2. 6 May 2. 01. It's difficult, because people don't want you to grow up. A lot of people outside the Beatles want to keep me in that world,' said Ringo Starr.
Ringo Starr looks at a photograph of his young self and laughs. You never do. We didn’t think it would last.’ The black- and- white image shows the Beatles in suits in the early Sixties, waiting to appear on a television show. He’s not sure which one. Paul is whistling, George is distracted, John is wide- eyed and Ringo is staring at the camera, his feet up on a seat.
In the picture (below) he looks the most assured, by far. George was going to have a garage.’But Ringo was a drummer before the Beatles and he still is, long after them. Nearly half a century later, at the age of 7. Britain and Europe with the latest incarnation of his All Starr Band. He rarely gives interviews, and gets frustrated when all people want to talk about is the Fab Four, but today says he’s .
So here goes. How does it feel to be a Beatle, at his age? A lot of people outside the Beatles want to keep me in that world. They look at that guy from A Hard Day’s Night and think, “That’s still him.” They want you to be that person they related to, in a movie, on record.’ The cheeky chappy?
Exactly.’What would he say to that young Ringo, if he could? I don’t know. Ringo has never pretended to be deep. He was always the natural clown in the band, the friendly face the kids and grannies loved, the yin to the yang of John Lennon’s caustic wit. But he hasn’t given up on the Sixties idealism, even after all this time. Ringo is small, skinny and familiar – that habit of sitting back in the chair, head up like a meerkat, echoes the images of him drumming in the Cavern, at Shea Stadium, on the roof of the Apple building. And we are surrounded by such ghosts, here in the offices of Apple, the company the Beatles set up to run their business affairs. The Beatles brand is bigger than ever: they passed a billion record sales a long time ago, and they’ve conquered the world again lately, thanks to new technology.
More than two million of us own the computer game The Beatles: Rock Band. But the masterstroke was to wait a long time before releasing their 1. Tunes – making sure they were remastered and repackaged, and the clamour was intense. Yet Ringo has . As the only two members left to face old age, how do they get on? It’s safer to laugh, and in this case right to do so – because he and Macca made glorious fun of that idea of themselves for this year’s Comic Relief. If you haven’t seen the sketch, look it up online. James Corden and a room full of superstars are arguing about who should be picked to film a special appeal in Africa, until Sir Paul butts in, as pompous as a knight of the realm can be.
Actually, it's me. I am the last remaining Beatle'. I was in the biggest rock ’n’ roll band in the history of music? I did my bit in Los Angeles, where I live half the time. I just sat in a hotel with a camera.’The best jokes are based on truth, so does he feel like the forgotten man sometimes? And is Paul that self- important? Actually, it’s me.
I am the last remaining Beatle.’Deadpan is his default setting. Once you realise that, Ringo is a very engaging man. I’m not surprised he’s still mates with Macca. We don’t live in each other’s pockets, but if we’re in the same country, we get together. He’s singing and playing on my latest album and I played on several of his.
We’re just pals. We’re the only two who’ve experienced all this who are still here.’The Beatles during rehearsals for The Ed Sullivan Show, 1. The pair of them work with the widows of John and George, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, on managing the Beatles legacy. But how close is that relationship? She and my wife Barbara are really good friends. She got up on stage with me on my birthday. We’re all OK together.
What’s your point?’Only that the rancour which followed the Beatles split, and which lasted for years, seems to have gone now. Yoko performed at Ringo’s 7. Radio City Music Hall in New York last summer, and Sir Paul sang the Beatles song Birthday. Doesn’t it make him wonder if a reunion might have become possible by now, had they all survived?
It would have been a great moment for me if the four of us were just sitting around talking about it. It’s never going to happen with us.’He’s getting restless, wanting questions about the present day, so I ask him if he’s annoyed that he hasn’t been given a knighthood like Sir Paul. That’s up to them. It doesn’t grate with me.
It doesn’t alter my life. People have tried campaigns, but it never goes anywhere.
Maybe you should start one. What can I say? That’s why I called my last album Y Not. To all the questions like that, I just say, “Well, why not?” I thought I was cool, just using the letter Y.’'We didn't think it would last.. Even Paul thought, . George (Harrison) was going to have a garage'Ringo’s idea of cool is unique. He won’t shake hands, but prefers to bump elbows.
British crowds will see it a lot this summer, as he plays stately homes and theatres with the All Starr Band, which has toured every few years since 1. Why does he still do it? I go down the front and sing Photograph or whatever, then I get to go back to the drums and play with all these other musicians. It’s a win- win situation. I get the chance to be both the entertainer and the musician. Everyone’s a star, but I’m the big star.
The band gets to play 1. I do 1. 2 numbers.’Ringo does Beatles songs, as well as his solo hits from some of the 1. Beatles broke up. Has he ever invited Sir Paul to join him? I tell him he’ll have his two numbers. I have to do Yellow Sub. And for myself, I have to do.
Boys, because I’ve done that since I was with Rory Storm and The. Hurricanes, the band I was in before the Fabs. People love to see me.
There is a responsibility to do. Today is the 3. 0th anniversary of his marriage to Barbara Bach. Everything in it relates to Barbara.
I. loved the woman from when we met and I still love the woman, and I know. It’s not like we don’t have a row, but underneath it all. Ringo has been married to former Bond girl Barbara Bach for 3. Bach was a Bond girl, hailed as one of the most beautiful women in the world, when he first set eyes on her in 1.
Her boyfriend was putting her on the. I was on the other side of the counter dealing with my ticket.

No 9 Madryn Street in. Dingle area of Liverpool is scheduled for demolition by the city. Grant Shapps is resisting the. Ringo isn’t sentimental about the place at all, and clearly on. It was dark. and damp. I have to tell you those lyrics on my song The Other Side Of. Liverpool are true: “The house I lived in was cold and damp/My mother.
At the age of three, my father was gone.” 'As a kid you didn’t care. That’s what we knew. Every woman in our street was a mother if mine wasn’t there. If you fell over they’d pick you up.
If you had a cough they’d be putting cough mixture in you. I had a great childhood, besides being a little ill. But then you move out. I’m not a child. I’ve moved on.’Not everybody appreciates that. You know, like they said it to Bob Dylan when he went electric? I was there that night, by the way.
People who are like that don’t want you to grow in any way.’After the last time he went back, in 2. I played the Echo Arena and everything was great. Then I did the Jonathan Ross show and he said, “Is there anything you miss about Liverpool?” I said, “No.” I was being flippant. It was funny. I thought the whole of Liverpool would laugh.’It didn’t. There were complaints to the BBC. Somebody vandalised a Beatles tribute in the city, cutting his head off. You know, I’d just had my whole family – those that are left – round for tea on the Sunday.’ Ringo works with Sir Paul and the widows of John and George, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, on managing the Beatles legacy.
At his house? Round the back of the Arena. We took a room and we put on a great thing. The family are still important. My mother’s dead, so I don’t go back that often.’He hasn’t been to Liverpool since – and hasn’t spoken about the controversy until now.
The career of Richard Starkey, born in 1. Having made his first drum kit out of biscuit tins and bits of firewood at the age of 1.
I was an apprentice engineer, which was very big news in our family. But I was also playing with Rory and The Hurricanes, and we got the offer of a three- month gig in Butlin’s at Skegness and Pwllheli, so we had to give up our jobs. All my uncles and aunties came over to try and tell me that drumming was OK as a hobby. I had to stand there and defend myself. I said, “No, I’m a drummer, I’m off.” That’s a Sliding Doors moment.
Some decisions are good.’Butlin’s led to a season in Hamburg at the same time as the Beatles were there, which led to an invitation to join them. John Lennon said people forget that Ringo was a star before he joined the band. Within Liverpool I was a lot more well known than them.
Rory and The Hurricanes were big shots in the city. We had suits. That was our claim to fame.’So rather than Ringo being lucky to join the Beatles – as lots of jealous people have said over the years – the opposite was true? They were lucky to get me. It wasn’t just that I was a big shot; I was a cool drummer. Brian Epstein asked if I would play a lunchtime at the Cavern with them.
That’s how I got started.’There’s your reason why he’s still on the road.
