Ringo Starr Postpones Summer Show as Two Band Members Test Positive for COVID

Share

It don’t come easy: Ringo Starr has had to postpone the balance of his summer shows because two of his band members have tested positive for COVID. They still had 12 shows to go in June. The tour will pick up in October.

Ringo’s band members are all stars but they are also all “older,” so there has to be concern. Ringo himself is almost 82. The band members are Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette, Hamish Stuart and Edgar Winter.  The word is Winter and Lukather tested positive. Ringo, who looks like he’s 62 because he’s a vegetarian, is just fine. But he must be less than thrilled that COVID has crept into his crew.
