Paul McCartney has confirmed that Ringo Starr will join him on his upcoming 2024 tour, bringing an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement to fans of The Beatles. Their longstanding friendship and mutual respect for each other’s musical talents are well-known, and they continue to collaborate despite the decades that have passed since the band’s break-up.
McCartney has often described performing with Starr as “magical,” and the two have reunited on stage several times in recent years, such as during McCartney’s 2018 and 2019 tours. Their on-stage chemistry remains electric, much to the delight of audiences. Starr, who was part of McCartney’s 2018 tour at London’s O2 Arena, has shared that playing together is always a special experience for both of them and the crowd.
While the two Beatles members don’t often hang out, they remain close friends, frequently meeting when in the same city. McCartney, who has praised Starr as one of the finest drummers, sees these moments of musical reunion as a true highlight of their careers post-Beatles. This tour promises to be another opportunity for fans to witness the magic of their friendship and musical bond in person.
