On Tuesday, July 7th, legendary drummer Ringo Starr turned 80 years old. His claim to fame was being the primary drummer for the iconic rock band, The Beatles.
The Beatles‘ original drummer Pete Best and singer Paul McCartney have led well-wishes to Ringo Starr on his 80th birthday. McCartney made reference to Starr’s 2018 knighthood, writing: “Happy birthday SIR RICHARD alias RINGO. Have a great day my long time buddy! – Paul.”
Pete Best was replaced by Starr in 1962 before the band achieved global fame. The drummer wrote on Twitter: “Thought about it and thought why not. Happy Birthday Ringo. It’s a special one. Have a good day.”
