Ringo Starr reveals the one humble ritual The Beatles refused to quit even at the height of fame
Ringo Starr is getting candid about his days with the Beatles, including the one rule the band never broke even as their fame skyrocketed.
The legendary drummer revealed the one simple habit that remained unchanged until the very end. They always shared rooms on tour.
"You guys were roommates when the Beatles would tour," host Jimmy Kimmel said during Monday's episode of his show, prompting Starr to reflect on the band’s early days.
The legendary drummer said the band always shared two rooms between four members. "Well, we were always four of us in two rooms," Starr said. "So, I was roommates with everybody. You know, Paul was roommates with everybody. Depended where they put the suitcases. We just went and shared a room."
The host asked whether that changed once they became the biggest band on the planet. Starr revealed it didn’t.
"No, right up to the last day of the last tour — or the last night of the last tour — we shared," Starr said.
Long before private jets and sprawling entourages became standard for global superstars, Starr and his bandmates — Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison — were simply four young men navigating fame together, suitcase by suitcase. Kimmel took the conversation in a more humorous direction, asking, "Wow. That’s really cool. When you visit each other at your homes now, do you get into bed together ever?"
Starr laughed, "No. No, not anymore."
