Last year the Beatles' drummer was awarded the Mojo Icon Award, joining past winners Phil Lynott, Ozzy Osbourne and Siouxsie Sioux.

Presenting the award, editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said: ''Ringo was the backbeat of one of the greatest bands of all time.''

“He’s the man who sang With A Little Help From My Friends. He’s the only guy to ever visit the Octopus’s Garden. The man who directed T Rex’s Born To Boogie. Oh, and he’s the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine. There is and only ever will be one Ringo Starr.''
