Ringo Starr has spent this month touring the United States with his All-Star band. After ten dates, his doctors told him he needs to cancel the final two dates of the tour that began on September 7th.
The singer’s people released this statement: “Today Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band announced that unfortunately they have to cancel their upcoming last two shows including tonight’s performance at TD Pavilion at The Mann in Philadelphia, PA and tomorrow at Radio City Music Hall in New York City due to illness.
“Ringo has come down with a cold and after consulting a doctor he was advised to cancel these two remaining shows and get rest.”
The Beatles’ oldest and youngest member is 84, so if his doctors suggest he rests, he needs to listen to them. This way, he and Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, Gregg Bissonette, Buck Johnson, and Edgar Winter can hit the road again in the future.
Dolly Parton is releasing her first Rock album in November. It is such a massive deal that she was able to recruit The Beatles’ Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for her cover of their tune Let It Be!
I don’t think anyone could’ve have imagined that these three would ever work together. But they did. And what we got is epic.
It is almost 42 years since we lost John Lennon, but this weekend we got to see a Lennon and McCartney reunion. That is because Julian Lennon bumped into Paul McCartney at Heathrow airport.
Their reunion was meant to be because Lennon told The AP at the MTV EMAs that his flights from LA were postponed and cancelled, so he got another flight that got him to the London airport at the same that Uncle Paul was there waiting for his flight to take off.
The two men talked for a half hour, and we got this sweet photo of them. Now, I want to see Julian, McCartney, Ringo Starr, and one of George Harrison’s kids get together and sing some Beatles tunes. How amazing would that be?

Almost two weeks ago, Ringo Starr cancelled several dates because he tested positive for COVID-19. But then he got better and hit the road again.
However, today, the 82-year-old had a sad announcement for his fans, “I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I was I tested positive again for Covid the rest of the tour is off I send you peace and love Ringo. 😎✌️🌟❤️🎶🎵🍒🥦🌈☮️”
Before you get too worried for the youngest and oldest Beatle, he only had five dates left, and the tour was going to end on the 20th in Mexico City. So, it makes sense. He needs to rest up and get better so that he can twist and shout again!
And chances are, his second bout with COVID-19 is probably related to taking Paxlovoid if he took it. Sadly, that is a side effect of the drug.
Ringo Starr is on tour, but he is forced to take a break because he tested positive for COVID-19.
“It has been confirmed today that Ringo has Covid and the tour will be on hold while Ringo recuperates,” the statement reads. “Ringo hopes to resume as soon as possible and is recovering at home. As always, he and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them back out on the road soon. We will keep fans updated with any further news or changes.”
The 82-year-old cancelled two shows over the weekend, and today he cancelled six more shows.
Hopefully, the youngest and oldest Beatle will be better soon and back on the road. Although, I can’t imagine still touring at 82. Heck, I have to be dragged out of bed to go see a concert.
