The star of the famous former Beatles, Ringo Star, celebrated its 80th birthday yesterday, but by default due to the circumstances of the Corona virus crisis.
Although the songs of the "beetles" were present at the celebration, it was absent from him by former Comrade Reno Starr Paul McCartney.
Sitting behind a drums machine and wearing a muzzle decorated with a drawing symbolizing peace, the artist explained to his fans: “Like most of you, I prefer to have a beautiful birthday party ... but this year is not appropriate for organizing a large gathering.”
"So I celebrate with my friends a different way this year ... We will have to stay away from each other because of the virus," he added.
The concert program included a number of famous "The Beatles" songs, including: "Cam Together", "All You Need Is Love" and "Wise E Little Help From My Friends". The program also included archive videos, home recordings, and recorded testimonies from artists, including Sherrill Crowe and David Lynch. About 130,000 fans of "The Beatles" and Ringo Star attended the live broadcast of the concert.
However, some viewers were disappointed by the absence of Paul McCartney, who only appeared at the ceremony in an excerpt from a party in Los Angeles last year, in which the two former comrades participated together.
Despite his absence, McCartney was in a day's tweet on his account on Twitter, wishing to Sir Richard (and Richard is the original name of Ringo) “Happy Birthday”. He wrote, "I hope you have an excellent day, my old friend."
