At 84, Ringo Starr Finally Reveals What No-one Saw Coming

Ringo Starr was always the "funny Beatle" – the one who smiled and joked while John and Paul got all the credit. But at 84, he's dropping a bomb nobody expected. Behind that happy face was a man who drank so much he blacked out, attacked his wife in a drug-fueled rage, and abandoned his kids. Even worse? He almost died twice and nobody knew. From his secret health crisis to the violent incident that forced him into rehab, this is the Ringo story fans never imagined.

Dear Mr. Starr, thank you so much for sharing your pain. That must have been very hard and took a lot of courage. Hopefully, your story can help others who have been struggling. Your musical gift and talent both as a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist have given the world much joy and love. ❤

Howdy Ringo, thank you for teaching us all about the gardening skills of various Octopii.

I wondered when you were going to mention Octopus's Garden. It's a favourite of mine.

Tomorrow Never Knows was originally said by Ringo as a comment on life as a Beatles .
Not by John as one of his LSD
Quotes .

"Rings" turns 85 this coming

Ringo had cut his teeth in dance bands, so his drumming literally had a “swing” to it.

[RaymondMoore-cg]

Really well researched, so I subbed,

[petahawker]

That he had a drinking problem is no secret.
His late wife once described him as 'Andy Cap'.
He and his second wife have spent a lot of time in rehab.
He has come a long way, and fought his demons.

In his late years he looks like the younger brother of Dubai sheikh 😅

I don’t know if this is still the case, but postcards were sold in Liverpool of the schools 🏫 the Beatles had attended, yet Paul was the only one who had done well at school. John was always being put into detention, a headmaster had written on one of George’s reports I can’t say what his work has been like because he hasn’t done any(!)😮

Bonham was more powerful, Moon faster, but Ringo knew what to play, when to play inm a way that made him the best
