Grumpy Ringo Starr Shuns Fans In Bizarre Video

He grouchily tells fans to stop sending him mail...

Share

An extremely grouchy Ringo Starr has posted a message on his official website telling fans not to post him any more fanmail, as he won't be signing it.

The Beatles legend warns in a stern voice that anything sent to him with a postmark date of October 20th or later won't be signed.

Despite his incredibly clichéd messages of peace and love throughout, the 68-year-old drummer comes across cantankerous and will no doubt upset many fans.

Titled 'Sorry, No More Signing Stuff', in the clip he pleads: “This is a serious message to everybody watching my update. Peace and love. Peace and love.

“I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it’s gonna be tossed.

"I’m warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed. Nothing.

“Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.” 

It's not the first time this year that Ringo has upset fans. In an interview with Jonathan Ross this January the star said he “didn't miss a thing” about his birthplace Liverpool – this was despite being heavily involved in the city's Capital of Culture celebrations.

You can watch Ringo snubbing fans here. Post your thoughts on his latest bizarre outburst below.

  • Ringo wasn’t the greatest tub-thumper ever and as is often pointed out he wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles. He took regular lessons off Paul McCartney – who played most of the drum parts on The White Album because poor Ringo was having a sulk. Starr’s other misdemeanours include ruining several albums with his tuneless, novelty karaoke songs (Yellow Submarine, Octopus’s Garden) and recently turning into a grumpy old git – not the done thing when you’ve built your fortune on being a ha
