Ringo Starr has been forced to cancel the remaining dates of his US tour due to illness, with fans being offered refunds for the missed shows. The legendary Beatles drummer was unable to perform at his scheduled concert in Philadelphia on Tuesday and also had to scrap his appearance at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Wednesday night. A statement released on social media explained: "Ringo has come down with a cold and after consulting a doctor he was advised to cancel these two remaining shows and get rest.
As always, Ringo and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them soon." The 84 year old star and his All Starr Band began their tour on September 7 and managed to play 10 shows before Ringo's last performance on September 22 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In April, Ringo dropped the EP 'Crooked Boy', featuring Nick Valensi from the Strokes, and shared insights into the creative process with Variety.
He recounted how he requested songwriter and producer Linda Perry to write more positive songs, saying: "Even on 'February Sky,' it was all about the dark sky everywhere in February, so that's an emotion in there. But I told her, 'There's gotta be a crack - a break in the sky - and the sun is coming out.' Because all my songs have that.
