“We played clubs and then we made a record, ‘Love Me Do.’ My God, there’s nothing bigger than that, our first vinyl. We found out the BBC was going to play ‘Love Me Do’ at 2:17pm, or whatever time it was, and we put the car on the radio. man!

Reflecting on the band’s dynamic, Starr joked that he “used to be a rock drummer” before his bandmates “ruined (his) whole career” by continuing to write songs for him. During his time with the Beatles, Starr sang lead on “Yellow Submarine,” “Act, Naturally,” “With a Little Help from My Friends” and “Octopus’s Garden.”
Lennon was shot by a crazed fan on December 8, 1980. Harrison died of cancer in 2001. Starr said that while the four were once as close as siblings in the early days, he and Paul have a close bond that continues today.
“Paul loves me as much as I love him,” he said. “He is the brother I never had. As an only child, I suddenly had three brothers.”
