Ringo Starr still loving life on the road
Close but no Beatles reunion.
Yes, both remaining Fab Four members – Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney – are touring North America this fall and in one case – Toronto – arrive in town mere days apart. (Macca’s at the Air Canada Centre Oct. 17 and Ringo and his All-Starr Band are at Massey Hall Oct. 20)
But don’t expect them to appear on each other’s stages, says the 75-year-old Starr, whose trek includes seven Canadian cities in October promoting his 2015 album, Postcards from Paradise, which includes him recording with his All-Starr bandmates (the same lineup that has been touring with him since 2012) on a disc for the first time.
“I wouldn’t think so,” said Ringo with a chuckle.
“I was with (Paul recently) in England actually and he’s going on tour and I said, ‘Well, where are you going? I’m doing this,’” recalled the drummer, down the line from his L.A. home recently.
“And he’s like ahead of me. He put his tour together unbeknownst to me. I put mine together for the autumn unbeknownst to him and here we are. I mean, that’s CLOSE to being psychic.”
