Ringo Starr reveals why his kids are ‘fed up’ with his retirement talk
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.
