Ringo Starr, the eternal rock star, always has something up his sleeve. On his 83rd birthday, he gathered his local pals in a Beverly Hills park to lead a spirited chant of “peace and love” at high noon. Fans around the world streamed the event, marvelling at Ringo’s youthful appearance and demeanour, and secretly wondering what his secret to eternal youth might be.
Surprisingly, Ringo’s brother-in-law, Joe Walsh, joined the festivities, accompanied by their wives, Barbara and Marjorie Bach. It’s a peculiar coincidence that both Ringo and Walsh found themselves in recent headlines. Ringo because of an upcoming Beatles single, and Walsh due to the announcement of an Eagles farewell tour. Before the party kicked off, the two stars spoke with the press, shedding light on these newsworthy topics.
Addressing the upcoming Beatles single, Ringo dismissed any scepticism. He emphasized that the voices of John, Paul, and George, along with their respective instruments, were authentic recordings from years ago. Ringo, who recently contributed drums and vocals to the track, expressed his enthusiasm for the song, highlighting its beauty amidst the chaotic world we live in. In his own words, it’s “our last track.”
Interestingly, this “new” song was actually an unfinished creation from the ’90s, much like “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love,” which were revived for the “Anthology” project.
Since 2008, Ringo has made it a tradition to celebrate his birthday with these peace-and-love moments. Now, 15 years later, it has become one of the most widely publicized celebrity birthdays each year. It’s undeniable that people can’t help but ponder his age on this special day, as he continues to captivate the world with his enduring spirit and unwavering passion for music and unity.
Ringo Starr’s annual birthday celebration is more than just a party; it’s a symbol of his timeless charisma and the everlasting legacy of the Beatles.
As fans tune in to witness the magic unfold, we can’t help but wonder if there’s a way to capture even a fraction of Ringo’s age-defying essence. If only we could!
