Beatle Ringo Starr says 'here it comes' in major career update
The 85-year-old musician followed up on an announcement first made in March.
Sir Ringo Starr's new album release date is approaching and the former Beatle said he s excited for the new project to be launched on April 24. Ringo's new album, Long Long Road, is his second with T Bone Burnett. It features collaborations with Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sarah Jarosz and St. Vincent.
He took to Instagram overnight to share an update on the release. A picture of Ringo holding the peace sign was shared with the caption: "Here it comes, my new record Long Long Road. Peace and love."
Fans of Sir Ringo commented on the post as they await the new music from him. One comment said "Looking forward to it" and another fan added "This is the day after my birthday, thank you Ringo. My favourite Beatle."
Other messages included: "And arriving exactly when needed. Heartfelt anticipation" and "You are such a treasure."
The new album follows on from Sir Ringo’s 2025 album Look Up which marked his first number one album on the UK's official country chart. Sir Ringo said: "I'm blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records. After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened."
Sir Ringo added that the album includes musical influences from guitarist Carl Perkins, as he said: "I recorded two Carl Perkins songs with The Beatles, and both T Bone and I wanted one on this record and he found this beautiful track I'd never heard before, I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore."
