Beatles legend, 86, hasn't aged a day as fans can't believe his youthful appearance at ...
Ringo Starr proved that age really is just a number as the Beatles legend celebrated his 86th birthday in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
Looking remarkably youthful in a black leather jacket, white jeans and his trademark tinted sunglasses, the drummer appeared to have barely changed over the decades as he took centre stage for his annual Peace and Love celebration, joined by his wife Barbara Bach and a host of famous friends.
The music icon smiled as he greeted hundreds of devoted fans gathered at Beverly Gardens Park before leading his now-traditional "Peace and Love" chant, a birthday ritual he has celebrated every year since 2008.
"It's LA. I love LA, I love the light, and we're pretty much guaranteed a beautiful day like today," Ringo told the crowd before the celebration got underway.
The annual event has become one of Beverly Hills' best-loved traditions, but it started far more modestly. "We started in Chicago with like 40 people," Ringo told The California Post. "We gave the crowd little cakes and by 8 p.m. that night they were on the internet being sold for a grand."
Now, the celebration attracts hundreds of Beatles fans from across the country, all eager to celebrate one of music's most enduring stars.
Among the day's highlights was Ringo posing beside the towering 800-pound stainless steel Peace and Love sculpture he donated to the city before cutting an enormous birthday cake decorated with his own likeness.
Barbara Bach, 77, was by her husband's side throughout the festivities, with the couple looking as loved-up as ever more than four decades after they tied the knot in 1981.
