Ringo Starr. It is the second song he solely wrote for The Beatles, the first one being Don't Pass Me By.
The Beatles. He was dismissed in 1962 and replaced with Ringo.
Two of the Beatles have died, yes. But not Ringo Starr. Ringo is alive and well along with Paul Mccartney, and both are still putting out music. John Lennon died in 1980 after being shot several times by a crazed fan. George Harrison died in 2001 after a long and painful battle with lung cancer.

its very rare nowdays that Ringo will sign anything , hes very protective at this point because in good faith in past years he has signed only to see his autograph being resold by greedy dealers. so he will no longer sign anything via mail , and getting him in person is very tough.
UK drummer Randolph Peter "Pete" Best is 76 years old (birthdate: November 24, 1941). He was the original drummer for the Beatles, from 1960 to 1962, before being replaced by Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr).
He is on tour now in the U.S. (I just saw him a few days ago!) and is still singing, drumming, and being Ringo Starr. He just came out with a new album too, Ringo 2012.
Being a member of The Beatles.
The Beatles were the most amazing rock band ever(and yes that is a fact) from Liverpool, England and are the most critically acclaimed recording act in the history of popular music. The band's members were:John Lennon (John Winston Ono Lennon), born October 9, 1940 and was murdered on December 8, 1980 - Vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, harmonica and songwriter.Paul McCartney (James Paul McCartney), born on June 18, 1942 - Vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, and songwriter.George Harrison, born on February 25, 1943 and died of cancer on November 29, 2001 - Vocals, lead guitar, sitar and songwriter.Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey), born on July 7, 1940 - Vocals and drums.The Beatles disbanded in 1970. All four went on to further successful careers in music, movies, production, etc.Early members of the Beatles included Stu Sutcliffe (June 23, 1940 - April 10, 1962; bass guitar) and Pete Best (born November 24, 1941; drums).There are frequent references to a "Fifth Beatle", the most obvious and probably top of the list being their producer, Sir George Martin, another being longtime road manager, personal assistant, and CEO of Apple, the late Neil Aspinall.Drummer Jimmy Nicol filled in for Ringo Starr for a few tour dates, but was never an official member of the group. Billy Preston played with them on Let It Be, but was not a permanent member.
