An interesting fact about Ringo Starr is that his real name is Richard Starkey but more importantly, he was probably the first rock drummer to use a matched grip (both hands use the same hand position) when holding the sticks. If you look at videos of Ringo Starr playing and then look at a clip of a legendary big band drummer like Gene Krupa, for example, you will immediately see the difference in the way the sticks are held.

These are just facts that I know, so you can decide if they are 'interesting' enough for whatever you need them for:

  1. He was the drummer for The Beatles
  2. He was the oldest Beatle
  3. He was often very sick as a child and spent a lot of time in hospitals
  4. He replaced The Beatles' original drummer, Pete Best
  5. In 1964 he collapsed at a photo session and was diagnosed with tonsilitis - he missed part of The Beatles' first world tour because of it. He later had his tonsils removed
  6. He married Maureen Cox in 1965 and they had three children together (Zak, Jason and Lee)
  7. He married Bond girl, Barbara Bach in 1981
  8. He did the narration for Thomas The Tank Engine
  9. He is a vegetarian because of stomach problems
  10. He is an only child
  11. He wrote two songs for The Beatles - Don't Pass Me By and Octopus's Garden
  12. He is the only Beatle with blue eyes
  13. He is left-handed but plays the drum right-handedly. He became ambidextrous when his grandmother forced him to write right-handedly as a child
  14. He is the most experienced and critically acclaimed actor Beatle

I hope they were some interesting facts for you! Some of them you may have already known, but hopefully I taught you something!
