Ringo Shows Postponed 

Earlier this year, Ringo Starr was also forced to postpone shows from his North American Tour, after several members of his band tested positive for Covid-19.

It emerged that keyboardist Edgar Winter and guitarist Steve Lukather had tested positive for the virus.

“We are so sorry to let the fans down”, Starr said in a statement at the time. “It’s been wonderful to be back out on the road and we have been having such a great time playing for you all. But as we all know, [COVID-19] is still here and despite being careful these things happen”. 

“I want to thank the fans for their patience”, he continued. “I send you all peace and love, and we can’t wait to be back in the Fall”. 

Earlier this year, Ringo Starr celebrated his 82nd birthday.

To celebrate this milestone, Starr was joined by his wife Barbara, family and friends as part of his annual Peace and Love Event.

Several members of Starr’s band also attended the event. More on this from Nova here.
