Ringo Starr: Miserable Old Git

Posted Mon 13 Oct 2008 5:55PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
Ringo Starr has made a bizarre outburst on a video posted on his website requesting that fans stop sending him mail after the 20th October.

"This is a serious message to anyone watching my message right now, peace and love!, Please after the 20th October do not send fan mail to any address that you have, nothing will be signed" said the former Beatle.

I can understand that Ringo doesn't have the time to address all the fan mail he receives but it really necessary to go to such lengths? Surely just ignoring the fan mail would have been a better idea rather than posting this video which is unlikely to endear him to world.

Thomas the Tank Engine will be so upset at you treating fans like that but then again, you are acting like a spoilt little brat!

They say as you grow older your behaviour gets more child like but I didn't realise it happened quite so soon!

Good for you old 'un! It's nice to see somebody helping others to move on from the past. Good luck in your new ventures, I hope they bring as much success and fame as your previous.

I hope you get to read these comments. Whatever or whoever has made you into such a rude and umpleasant man cannot be good for you. Initially I felt angry like so many of the people who have commented before me, but I actually feel sorry for you now I think you need help. Alex

Cant believe you have been so tactless when your fans have always been so loyal. Why not just be honest with them and tell them why you suddenly find you cant cope with it all anymore, you owe them that at least, don't you!!!!!
