Sir Ringo Starr cancels five shows after testing positive for coronavirus.
The 82-year-old Beatles veteran and his all-star band canceled shows in Canada following the diagnosis, days after a spokesman for the band said the ailing drummer was not sick.
Ringo and his team pulled out of a show Saturday night (01.10.22) at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Michigan, saying he was too sick to be on stage.
The All-Star Band show in Prior Lake, Minnesota, scheduled for Sunday night, was also canceled.
Ringo tests positive for coronavirus on Monday (03/10/22) and will not be in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Lethbridge, nor Abbotsford and Pentic Dayton’s arena game.
A statement confirmed: “Ringo hopes to recover as soon as possible and is currently recovering at home. As always, he and the All-Stars send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them back on the field as soon as possible.”
The shows are part of a wider tour that will be on hold while the drummer recovers from the virus.
Ringo withdrew from the Four Winds casino show hours before he took the stage after realizing he was unable to perform due to the illness, which was believed to have affected his voice.
A spokesman for the group insisted at the time that the drummer did not have Covid, but did not say what affected him.
Ringo, who celebrated his 82nd birthday last month, kept up the tradition of throwing an annual “Peace and Love” party in Beverly Hills.
He and his second wife, Barbara, also celebrated 41 years of marriage in April.
The nine-time Grammy winner — his sons Zach, 56, Jason, 54, and daughter Lee, 51, from a decade-long marriage to Maureen Starkey — on June 26 Sunday ended the 2022 Spring Tour band with his All-Star in Clearwater, Florida.
Delayed from 2020 due to the pandemic, it is scheduled to resume in Bridgeport, Connecticut in the fall on September 23, and is scheduled for completion in Mexico City on October 20.
