The recently knighted Sir Ringo Starr has announced a U.S. leg and 20 additional dates to his 2018 tour with his All Starr Band this fall.
Starr, the legendary Beatles drummer, was recognized by the Queen as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) with the band in 1965. In addition to this honor, Starr was awarded a solo knighthood last week by Queen Elizabeth for his “services to music.”
“It’s an honor and a pleasure to be considered and acknowledged for my music and my charity work, both of which I love,” Starr said in a statement. “Peace and love.”
The legendary musician will be joined this year on tour with rotating members of his All Starr Band: vocalist/guitarist Colin Hay (Men at Work), guitarist Steve Lukather (Toto), vocalist/keyboardist Gregg Rolie (Santana, Journey), saxophonist Warren Ham (Toto, Bloodrock), drummer Gregg Bissonette (Toto, Santana) and the latest addition, vocalist/bassist Graham Gouldman (10cc). While performing, the All Starrs plays a mixture of songs from each of the member’s respective bands, but with a new twist.
All Starr Band will kick off their tour on June 2 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before heading to Europe. The U.S. leg of the tour picks up on September 1 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and wraps up on September 29 in Los Angeles, California. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
