One song that comes to mind off the top of my brain is the Beatle’s song, “Help.”
Beatles legend Ringo Starr took to his Twitter account to announce that, “I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I was I tested positive again for Covid. The rest of the tour is off. I send you peace and love, Ringo.”
This will affect the show here in Michigan, Buffalo, and Minnesota.
Ringo’s band features one of our own behind the drum kit. Gregg Bissonette, who is from Detroit, was also with David Lee Roth’s band during his solo efforts. Other band members include Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, and Edgar Winter.
Paul McCartney continues to be outspoken during the pandemic but says, “I Feel Fine.” Inside Beatles joke. Ringo Starr pulled out of his tour after testing positive for COVID-19 for the second time in just two weeks. At the youthful age of 82, it’s probably a smart call to play on the side of caution. Still, one of my favorites from the Ringo catalog will always be “Yellow Submarine,” but the movie as a child scared the crap out of me with the character called The Blue Meanies.
Ringo did do pretty well as a solo artist. Hopefully a full recovery is in store for Ringo, and maybe in 2023, we can see another All-Star Comeback Band concert. Unill then, Peace and Love, Peace and Love to Ringo.
