Ringo Starr...

[Melvil]

....is not signing any autographs any more.

Kind of bizarre?

 

[wafflycat]

A celebrity who seems to have forgotten that it's the fans that have given him great wealth? Perhaps his fans can be 'too busy' to turn up to any of his gigs in future...

 

[Kirstie]

If you take a look at his message to the fans, the way he talks it's like 'peace, love and **** off'.

Absolutely hilarious!

 

[Mr Pig]

He's an old man, give him a break.

 

[ianrauk]

To be honest I don't blame him. These days people are more interested in making a quick buck on ebay rather then keeping for a personal collection

no such thing as bad publicity…

i smell max clifford.

I saw that clip and I thought he didn't really look or sound 100%...

 

[Kirstie]

Yes, in fairness he sounded like a grumpy old man.

I think it was John Lennon, when he was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, replied," He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles"

 

[Mr Phoebus]

"I SAID NO AUTOGRAPHS!!!"

A Gun For Ringo.

His announcement should make his autographs worth even more now.

 

[Lardyboy]

A much better alternative..

Who the hell wants Ringo's autograph these days anyway? It's not as if he's done anything worthwhile, musically speaking, in the past 40 odd years.

 

[PaulB]

Anyone wanting that clown's autograph must be a few Kopeks short of a Rouble anyway so it's got to be for the publicity.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I imagine he's trying to drum up some interest, get people to remember who he is (or at least, was), that sort of thing.
