Ringo Starr Celebrates Music and Friendship at Radio City Concert

On June 13, 2025, Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band performed a sold-out show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, marking a triumphant return after illness forced him to cancel shows in 2024. The legendary drummer, who turns 85 next month, demonstrated impressive vitality as he alternated between singing and drumming. The setlist blended Beatles classics, such as “Yellow Submarine,” “Octopus’s Garden,” and “With a Little Help From My Friends,” with Starr’s solo hits like “Photograph” and “It Don’t Come Easy.” The concert also showcased the individual talents of his bandmates, including Steve Lukather (Toto), Hamish Stuart (Average White Band), and Colin Hay (Men at Work), each performing their iconic songs. A highlight of the night was a humorous moment when Starr joked about singing Beatles songs he wasn’t originally featured on. The show ended on a poignant note with “Give Peace a Chance,” reflecting Starr’s long-standing message of peace and love. The evening confirmed that Starr, even after seven decades in the music industry, continues to inspire with energy, humor, and enduring musical charisma.
