Ringo Starr's Final Days As Beatles Icon Riddled With Health Fears
In late September, Starr's team announced on Instagram: "Today Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band announced that unfortunately, they have to cancel their upcoming last two shows including tonight's performance at TD Pavilion at The Mann in Philadelphia, PA and tomorrow at Radio City Music Hall in New York City due to illness.
"Ringo has come down with a cold and after consulting a doctor he was advised to cancel these two remaining shows and get rest." Despite his recent illness, Starr, 84, has been known for his health-conscious lifestyle.
A source told Closer magazine: “He's still keeping up with the all-organic vegan diet and hasn't touched a drop of alcohol in 36 years, but even an obsession with health and avoiding germs isn't enough to keep the flu bug away, at least not anymore.
“For a guy who never got the sniffles, this is worrying.”
Before kicking off his tour, The Beatles icon revealed his secret to staying healthy and gave credit to being "vegetarian for the last 25 years" as well as having a personal trainer.
