Happy Birthday Ringo!
[Posted Tuesday, July 7, 2026 7/7/26 6:45 am]
The legendary Beatles drummer Sir Richard Starkey, better known to us as Ringo Starr, was born on July 7, 1940, in Liverpool, England.
In recent years, Ringo, who is now 86, has transformed his birthday into a worldwide movement centered entirely around his favorite mantra, "Peace and Love".
This tradition began in 2008, when a journalist asked Ringo what he wanted for his birthday. His simple response was that he wanted everyone on the planet to pause and think, say, or post "#peaceandlove" at noon local time. Since then, the phenomenon has grown into a massive annual campaign spanning dozens of countries.
Over the years, the festivities have expanded to include massive musical tributes. On his birthday in Beverly Hills last year, close friends, family, and musicians like brother-in-law Joe Walsh and country star T Bone Burnett gathered to perform his classic Beatles hits like "Yellow Submarine" and "Octopus's Garden".
The celebration has even reached beyond Earth, with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and NASA teams beaming the message of peace and love into outer space to honor our favorite drummer.
This year, fans are invited to gather at a free event at The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool.
Happy birthday Ringo! Peace and love!
