Ringo Starr’s ‘Peace And Love’ Warning To Fans

added 13 October 2008 at 10.35

Grumpy Beatle tells followers they have a week to get fanmail to the drummer before it all gets ‘tossed’. He’s too busy, apparently.

In an utterly bizarre footnote of Beatles history, Ringo Starr has sent a video update to his fans telling them to stop sending fanmail. It’s available to see on the drummer’s official website now, but it turns out that Ringo’s had enough of signing things. He’s clearly far too busy singing out of tune and playing drums badly…

“This is a serious message to everyone… after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that’s the date on the envelope, it’s going to be tossed. I’m warning you with peace and love, I have too much to do”

It’s a far cry from the Ringo featured on The Simpsons (below). Good job Marge got the picture in to him before he got too busy, eh?
