Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey on July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England, is best known as the drummer for the legendary rock band, The Beatles.
As one of the world’s most iconic musicians, Starr contributed to the success of The Beatles with his steady and innovative drumming style. Alongside John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, he became a central figure in the 1960s music revolution.
Ringo Starr joined The Beatles in 1962, replacing the band’s original drummer, Pete Best. His laid-back personality and distinctive sense of humor quickly made him a fan favorite.
As the drummer, he played on most of the band’s classic tracks, such as “Come Together,” “Help!,” and “A Day in the Life.” Starr also sang lead vocals on a few Beatles songs, including “Yellow Submarine” and “With a Little Help from My Friends.”
After The Beatles disbanded in 1970, Ringo Starr pursued a solo career, releasing hits like “Photograph” and “It Don’t Come Easy.” He also formed the All-Starr Band, a rotating supergroup that continues to tour and perform.
In addition to his music career, Starr has acted in films and TV shows. His contributions to music earned him a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as both a Beatle and a solo artist. Known for his peace-and-love philosophy, Ringo Starr remains an enduring figure in the world of music.
