LOS ANGELES — Legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is reflecting on his storied career in an upcoming episode of “On The Red Carpet: ICONS.”

“Our music resonates with every generation,” Starr proudly stated.

At 85, Ringo Starr remains a celebrated figure in music, a status he achieved alongside John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison in the 1960s. Together, they formed The Beatles, a band that reshaped the music world and continues to influence artists today.

Even 55 years after The Beatles disbanded, their legacy endures. This year, they added another Grammy to their collection with the song “Now and Then.”

“We’ve sold records and now we’re seeing streams—about a billion a week, or something like that, continuously,” Starr shared with On The Red Carpet. “The legacy lives on.”

All of his success is even more amazing when you consider Ringo had to overcome childhood illnesses that nearly killed him.

“Three times they told me, I’ll be dead in the morning,” Ringo explained. “So, I think the universe had some sort of plan for me.”

Recently, that plan has included an ongoing tour with his popular supergroup, “Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band,” and this year, a number one country album, “Look Up.”

“I love the atmosphere of ‘Look Up,’” Ringo said. “We’re not looking down all the time. Let’s look up. It’s much better for you.”

On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio also asked Ringo about the phrase “peace and love,” which has become like a mantra.

“We were around the ’60s and so was flower power and that’s really where it came from,” Ringo explained. “And it was such a great time to be around.”

In recent years, Ringo has made his birthday an annual celebration of peace and love after someone asked him what he wanted from his fans.

“And I don’t know where it came from,” he said. “I’d like them to go, ‘peace and love,’ and we did.”

In this special episode of “On The Red Carpet,” Ringo also talks about his artwork that benefits his charity, The Lotus Foundation, what he told Prince William when he was knighted, his thoughts on reuniting with Paul McCartney, his advice for Barry Keoghan who’s playing him in an upcoming movie and more!
