After listening to the tape, and posting a snippet of it onto social media, he discovered that the tape in his possession was a rare, direct copy of an early audition tape by the Beatles.He wrote on his initial post on social media: “I picked up this tape years ago that said Beatles Demos on it.

Ringo Starr’s kids have let it be.Most likely because their famous dad, who gained notoriety in the 1960s as the drummer of The Beatles, is as busy as ever at the age of 84.“Sometimes when I finish a tour, I’m like, ‘That’s the end for me.’ And all my children say, ‘Oh, Dad, you’ve told us that for the last 10 years.’ And they get fed up with me,” Starr told People magazine on Wednesday.“I do feel, ‘Oh, that’s got to be enough,’ and then I get a phone call: ‘We’ve got a few gigs if you’re interested.’ Okay, we’re off again!”The drummer has sons Zak, 59, and Jason, 57, and daughter Lee, 54, with his late ex-wife, Maureen Cox.These days, Starr is gearing up to embark on a 10-date tour with his All Starr Band in June. In September, his namesake band will play six shows during a Las Vegas residency at the Venetian Theatre.Starr founded the group in 1989, and these days, the musical lineup includes Steve Lukather, Warren Ham, Colin Hay, Gregg Bissonette, Hamish Stuart and Buck Johnson.“In those days, I had a phone book, so I found guys who were musicians and I’d call them,” he recalled of the group’s early days together.

Beatles drummer shared his shocking confession during his Tuesday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“Kimmel, 57, asked Starr to clear up some rumors about him that exist out in the ether — the first of which is that the rock star has never eaten pizza.“I’ve never had a pizza,” Starr confirmed to stunned silence. “Never had a pizza.”“You hear all those people in the back going, ‘What?'” he added, prompting laughter from the audience.But it was another food confession that left them even more shocked.“Or a curry,” Starr said as people gasped, “Nooooo!”“I’m allergic to several items,” explained the drummer, who has shared before that he is a vegetarian.

“Midas Man” — the new biopic of Beatles manager Brian Epstein — Jay Leno didn’t aim to put on a “really big show” as the TV legend.“They didn’t want an impression of Ed Sullivan,” the longtime “Tonight Show” host told The Post. “They just wanted someone who was a TV presenter.“So I said, ‘I’m gonna get killed because I don’t do an impression.’ But it was OK. I think people understood that I wasn’t trying to [imitate him].”The film, which is streaming on Olyn, depicts how The Beatles made their US TV debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Feb.

The Beatles. It was, despite all his retail intel, the first moment that the Fab Four’s future manager had heard of the band.Curious about the group that had recorded “My Bonnie” in Germany but turned out to be locals, Epstein saw The Beatles for the first time at Liverpool’s Cavern Club — where they played lunchtime concerts — on Nov. 9, 1961.

AC/DC, Ringo Starr, James Taylor, Santana and Heart are all operating at the height of their rock and roll powers.Frankie Valli, Earth Wind and Fire, War, America and Ozark Mountain Daredevils dominate the Top 40.Somehow, a half century later, they’re all still going strong.In fact, a large number of artists that broke big before 1980 — sorry, ’80s music isn’t classic rock to us just yet — have continued their never-ending tours.However, some of our throwback favorites like Tommy James and the Shondells, Al Stewart, Grand Funk Railroad, Foghat and Iggy Pop are flying under the radar only having booked a few off the beaten path gigs this year.That’s where we come in. Our team got curious, dug in and found all the huge stadium runs, small casino treks, international jaunts, Las Vegas residencies and more from our favorite classic rock heroes that broke before the advent of MTV.And, trust us, we searched far and wide. No stone got unturned on this list.

AC/DC and Ringo Starr, omnipresent pop stars Charli XCX and Gracie Abrams, heavy metal icons Metallica and System of a Down, honky tonk heroes Post Malone and Megan Moroney, and Pulitzer Prize-wining Hip-Hop stadium headliner Kendrick Lamar (he’s a one-of-a-kind) — that might be coming to a venue near you over the next 12 months.Some of the artists on our expansive list have been on the road since the ’60s; others were born in the aughts. No matter your age or favorite genre, we have a feeling one or three acts will resonate with you.Personally, we’re most excited to see Hans Zimmer, Heart, Tyler The Creator, Weird Al and Jack White but that’s just us.So, come on a journey with us to popular music’s past and future.Here’s what 2025 has to offer.Runs April 11 through June 18Runs May 31 through Sept. 8Featuring Role ModelRuns March 3 through Aug. 12Featuring Zara Larsson and BeneeRuns May 13 through Sept. 26Runs July 22 through Oct. 23Runs Jan. 13 through July 5Runs May 11 through Oct. 16Runs March 29 through June 16Runs March 7 through July 11Runs June 20 through Feb. 28, 2026Featuring Bad SunsRuns Feb. 13 through April 21Runs Jan. 21 through Feb. 4Runs Feb. 11 through June 27Featuring Korn, Avenged Sevenfold and Deftones on select datesRuns Aug. 25 through Sept. 7Featuring Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, JPEGMAFIA, Spiritbox, Jean Dawson and others on select datesRuns April 26 through Sept. 24Featuring Limp Bizkit, Ice Nine Kills, Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies on select datesRuns April 19 through June 29Featuring The Mars Volta and FleshwaterRuns Feb. 25 through Sept. 5Runs April 15 through Aug. 16Featuring Municipal Waste and Alien WeaponryRuns Jan. 15 through Feb. 22Featuring Three Days Grace, Daughtry, Sevendust and
