In a heartfelt announcement that has sent waves across the music world, Ringo Starr—legendary drummer of The Beatles—has officially retired from professional music.
At 84, the icon shared that it’s time to step away from touring and recording to focus on family, health, and personal passions.

“I’ve given my whole life to music, and it has given me more than I could have ever dreamed,” Ringo shared in a statement. “Now, I want to give my time to the people and causes that matter most to me. It’s not ‘goodbye’ to music—it’s just ‘peace and love’ from a new place.”
Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band recently wrapped what is now confirmed to be their final tour. Fans have flooded social media with tributes, thanking the drummer whose unique style and easygoing humor brought warmth to stages around the world.
Though he’s leaving behind the professional spotlight, Ringo hinted that he may still “pop up for the occasional surprise jam” or charity appearance. “I’ll never stop loving music—it’s just time to slow down.”
From Liverpool clubs to sold-out stadiums, Ringo Starr’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. His retirement marks the end of an era, not just for Beatles fans, but for all who’ve found joy in his beat. Peace and love, Ringo. Always.
