Ringo Starr discusses new music, resuming tour and "the magic" of an unexpected hobby
Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band had only played nine gigs before COVID-19 put the musicians on pause. Now, months later, the group is back on tour with a brand new EP and skills from an unexpected hobby learned while quarantining.
“You play it safe because then you’re keeping other people safe,” Starr told CBS News senior culture correspondent Anthony Mason.
While at home, the 82-year-old former drummer for the Beatles recorded two EP’s, and recently released one of them titled EP3.
But along with creating music during lockdown, Starr said a TikTok video he saw inspired him to delve into spin paint — an art form where paint is poured onto a rotating canvas. He said he’s turned his home gym into an art room and transformed a guest house into a home studio so that he can “splash paint around.”
“I love it,” he said. “That’s the magic of painting, you do something and then, ‘Wow, look what came out of it.'”
