Ringo Starr said about his rotating All-Starr Band, which is now in its 22nd year.
The band features Romantics frontman Wally Palmer, guitar legend Rick Derringer and multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter, among others—is on tour in Europe.
Starr said that she lives this group to show his love going out.The legendary drummer said, “I still love to play. I go down the front and sing ‘Photograph’ or whatever, then I get to go back to the drums and play with all these other musicians. It’s a win-win situation. I get the chance to be both the entertainer and the musician. Everyone’s a star, but I’m the big star. The band gets to play 12 numbers between them and I do 12 numbers.”
Starr said she knows there songs they are performing for.“I have to do ‘With a Little Help from My Friends.’ I have to do ‘Yellow Sub.’ And for myself, I have to do ‘Boys,’ because I’ve done that since I was with Rory Storm and The Hurricanes, the band I was in before the Fabs. People love to see me playing and singing from the drums. There is a responsibility to do stuff that people have come to hear.”
As for Ringo’s All-Starrs, the amiable skinsman
said that he always called her old friend. To say in a mean only state backing the idea of joining the group will do.Starr joked, “Every time I ask him to join the All-Starrs he says he’s too busy. I tell him he’ll have his two numbers…”
