Ringo Starr's band will officially be heading out on the road this summer with his current members, including Toto's Steve Lukather, Mr. Mister's Richard Page, original Santana singer Gregg Rolie, Todd Rundgren and drummer Gregg Bissonette. "I love playing with this band," Starr said in a statement according to Rolling Stone, "and I can't wait to get back out and play with them again."
The fellow Fab Four member just made a lasting impression at the 2014 Grammys alongside Paul McCartney. It's pretty incredible that they are still touring and have maintained such a heartfelt following from fans. Starr's tour with the All Starr Band will start June 6 at Rama Casino in Ontario, Canada and wraps July 19 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
The fellow Beatle has been touring with many different musicians with his band since 1989. "We are the 1-800 band," he told Rolling Stone in 2012. "Everybody has to have hits in the Sixties, which I do, in the Seventies, which I do, and we're getting into the Eighties now. I don't think we've quite managed the Nineties yet . . . It can get hard, the traveling. But we get those two hours of bliss and that's great. That's what keeps us going. I love to be out there, and it's just what I do."
On Feb. 9, the Beatles will be honored on the CBS special that will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary since the band made their first U.S. appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
