Share your Ringo Starr stories for new biography
Written by admin on May 17, 2012 – 9:34 pm -Michael Starr is writing a biography of Ringo Starr and is asking “anyone who has a Ringo story” to contact him.
Starr says:
| “My book will cover the entire arc of Ringo’s life, from his birth in Liverpool to the present-day. I’m very interested in exploring Ringo’s pre-Beatles life in Liverpool (family, friends, schooling, etc.) and how this shaped his life — since I feel this hasn’t ever really been covered with any depth (especially when compared to the early-life coverage of Paul McCartney, John Lennon and, to a lesser extent, George Harrison).” |
