Ringo Starr

Yes Ringo has two tattoos

Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) was originally (1960) paid $25 per week with the Beatles - with the promise that when they started to record and really make some money - he would be a full partner. About 1962 he was rewarded for his patience - and was paid 1/4 of all record sales and concert appearances. He also legally changed his name to Ringo Starr!!

As of 2012 Ringo Starr has a net worth of about $235 million in total assets (houses, land, investments) and pays himself about $10,000 per week - after taxes.

Ringo Starr was the "poorest" of the Beatles as McCartney has a valus of $1.25 billion - John Lennon $455 million uppon his death and George Harrison $475 million upon his death.

The funny part is one of the main reasons the Beatles broke up was that McCartney wanted Linda's father (George Eastman) to handle the money for the Beatles - since that is what he did for a living (NO - he is NOT closely related to the Eastman family of Kodak fame!! And for the most part of 5 years the Beatles millions sat in a bank making absolutly NOTHING in interest - becasue they could not figure out what to do with a huge pile of cash!!) The Beatles said "NO" - they did not trust Eastman! But Paul McCartney DID go with Eastman - and is the only Beatle billionaire - based on investments!!!!!!

Lee Parkin Starkey was born on November 11, 1970 in London, England to Ringo and Maureen Starkey just months after The Beatles had broken up.

No. Not all of their songs featured drums or percussion, especially in the later years. Paul McCartney played drums on a few Beatles tracks, and replaced Starr's drumming on one of his "White Album" songs; Starr was upset, but let it go.

Ludwig imports the Accent line from Taiwan. They make their other drums in Monroe, NC, and LaGrange Park, IL.

Define suck,

if you mean 1. be very bad, disagreeable, or disgusting, then I think you probably are meaning 2, because even wondering about 1 is impossible.

if you mean 2. draw into the mouth by contracting the muscles of the lip and mouth to make a partial vacuum, I'm sure he has the ability to.

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.

Yes he is still living at the age of 69.
Yep.

He first came to attention as a member of Rory Storm and the Raving Texans, who later became Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. He quit the Hurricanes to join the Beatles.

Well... He was in a coma for about 13 months and when he was in the hospital, a hospital band came around. He was fascinated with the drummer and decided to play them. He had appendicitis when he was little (everybody thought it was a stumich ache until it got really bad)

the same qualities that helped make The Beatles a legendary group are still in evidence today as Ringo continues to bring respected musicians together to create some of the most fun-filled summer concerts in the history of Rock. What was true in the 60's holds true today, when Ringo is involved a splendid time is guaranteed for all.

He got his first drumset on his 9th birthday.

Ringo.

In fact, Ringo was the oldest Beatle, and the rest of the gang considered George the baby brother. (If that answers your question.

Ringo:Oldest Beatle

George:Youngest Beatle

I don't know him personally, but from what I've seen he seems to have been the most down-to-earth of The Beatles, pretty laid back and quiet with a good sense of humor and a lot less egotistical than John or Paul. He didn't seem as intelligent as the other three, but that could just be a combination of how he was portrayed in the media (often as the comic relief) or the fact that he had considerably less education than the others, due to a severe illness that kept him out of school. He could barely read or write when he first joined the band.

There were allegations of him exaggerating his height, but most sources say he was (in the 1960s at least) 5 foot, 6 and a half inches. There's even a celebheights.com site that is devoted to this kind of thing.

yes to maureen cox because he had an affair with a model so he got remarried to barbra bach

Ringo Starr started playing drums since he was a little boy in the hospital. The nurse would come around with plastic instruments for them to play with, and Ringo would always choose the drum. He would fight over it. Once he was out of the hospital, he told his family of his interest in music, and his uncle bought him a guitar. Eventually he got a set of drums. His interest in drumming started when he was about five, but it is unsure of when he actually got his first drum set.

Fun- Fact, Ringo Starr is actually left-handed, but his grandmother wouldn't let him write with his left because she was Catholic. That's why Ringo's drumming style is different from most drummer's drumming. He throws left-handed moves into a right-sided drum set.

Although he can be heard singing backing on a few Beatles tracks Ringo took lead vocals on a total of ten songs from their original records:

Boys, I Wanna Be Your Man, Honey Don't, Matchbox, Act Naturally, What Goes On, Yellow Submarine, With A Little Help From My Friends, Don't Pass Me By and Octopus' Garden.

The Beatles Anthology 2 included a previously unreleased track with Ringo singing lead vocals: If You've Got Troubles.

Most of Ringo's childhood he spent in hospitals because he was a very sickly child, and had many health problems.

About a year ago, Ringo Starr sent out a YouTube video, saying that ALL of the fan mail sent out, after October 2010 would be tossed. It would be very nice of you to think of him on his birthday- July 7th. I hope this helps <3

Ringo's Full name is Richard Parkin Starkey his father also had the name Richard Henery Parkin Starkey.

No, Ringo's birthday is July 7th and Paul's is June 18th.

Not as yet.

it is different depending on who you ask i have seen him at 13/100 and i have seen him at 5/100 but he set standards for drummers like Neil Pert like tuning the drums to a lower pitch, using a microphone on each drum, muffling the snare, putting the drummer on a raised floor, and using the match grip. If it wasn't for Ringo, drummers would not be as good as they currently are so he is one of the best drummers of all time even though he played simple beats, he kept a solid. You could count his mistakes on one hand, most of the recording mistakes were made by the other 3 beatles. He also played in crazy time signatures like 4/4, 11/8, 6/2, 2/2, 3/2, ect...
