Ringo Starr launches new tour

Ringo Starr, fresh off the release of his new album “Liverpool 8,” will launch a North American tour this summer with the tenth edition of Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band.

The band includes returning All Starrs (in alphabetical order): Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart and Edgar Winter, as well as first timer Gary Wright and Gregg Bissonette on drums.

Since 1989, Ringo and his All Starr tours have sold out venues with great musicians who love to play. Each of the All Starrs lend their most popular songs to the set which already boasts Starr's impressive hits: "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Yellow Submarine" "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy."

The 31 U.S. and Canadian tour dates will begin June 19 at Fallsview Casino in Niagra Falls, ON, and wrap up at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles on Aug. 2.
