The Beatles legend Sir Ringo Starr is about to launch his first new album in six years.
And this time across the 84-year-old goes Country with Look Up, which is produced and co-written with T Bone Burnett.
The music icon was at London’s Third Man Records final night time to advertise the report with a bunch of well-known pals.
Hosted by Jools Holland, the occasion included the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Bob Geldof.
Posting an Instagram video of the night, The Beatles drummer captioned it: “Wow, what a great time I had in London hanging out with all friends promoting my new country album Look Up peace and love Ringo.”
Posting extra snaps from the night on his social media, Ronnie Wood wrote: “Fantastic night catching up with old friends celebrating @ringostarrmusic’s new album! Brilliant to see everyone, including @jimmypage @scarlettzsabet @ericclapton Melia @jools.holland.official Bob and Jeanne Marine! Congratulations Ringo!”
With Sir Paul McCartney performing two nights on the O2 subsequent week, followers will little doubt be hopeful that Ringo will make a cameo look throughout the encore whereas he’s over from his house in Los Angeles.
On his new Country album, Ringo mentioned: “I’ve always loved country music. And when I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song – but of course it was, and it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP -but when he brought me nine songs I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did. I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to.”
Ringo Starr’s Country album Look Up is launched on January 10, 2025 and the primary two singles Time On My Hands and Thankful are out now.
