Ringo Starr pushes back All Starr Band tour due to coronavirus

Sunday, March 29, 2020

Ringo Starr is pushing back dates on his upcoming All Starr Band tour “out of an abundance concern and caution for the well being of fans, crew and staff due to the Covid 19 crisis,” according to a news release.

Ringo and his All Starr Band — featuring Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Gregg Rolie, Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette and Hamish Stuart — will now launch the tour next year.

“This is very difficult for me,” Starr said in a news release. “In 30 years I think I’ve only missed two or three gigs, never mind a whole tour. But this is how things are for all of us now, I have to stay in just like you have to stay in, and we all know it’s the peace and loving thing we do for each other.

“So we have moved the Spring tour to 2021. My fans know I love them, and I love to play for them and I can’t wait to see you all as soon as possible. In the meantime stay safe. Peace and love to you all.”
