“My dream has always been, and still is, to play great music with great musicians – and I’ve been blessed to have so many incredible ones in my All Starr Bands,” Starr said on his website.
At the typical All Starr Band show, Ringo performs a selection of Beatles classics – including staples “With a Little Help from My Friends” and “Yellow Submarine” – plus songs from his solo career.
In addition, some of the other musicians take turns in the spotlight performing hits from their bands.
