Ringo Starr's Apartment Was Like a Playground for His Famous Friends
Ringo Starr moved from Liverpool to London once The Beatles made it big. The capital city was the heart of the English music scene. The Fab Four practically lived at Abbey Road Studios — except when Ringo and George Harrison collaborated on a long-lost song. He later upgraded to a house outside the city, but Ringo’s apartment in London was like a playground for several famous artists.
Before he entered one hall of fame without the other Beatles, Ringo grew up in a working-class section of Liverpool. Once he committed himself to playing drums, it didn’t take him long to find success.
His first professional band — Rory Storm & the Hurricanes — played in and around Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany. (Their pink suits helped them get better rooms in Germany than The Beatles).
Ringo continued to live with his mother and stepfather in his childhood home even after The Beatles started to gain popularity. Still, he couldn’t remain at home forever.
