Sunday, June 7, 2020

Ringo Starr has spoken out about the wave of Black Lives Matter protests around the world, saying he is sending “peace, love and continuous support” to them.

The Beatles drummer referenced his bandmate Paul McCartney’s own message, which was shared yesterday (June 5), in his tweet.

“As my brother Paul said The Beatles always stood for equal rights&justice and I’ve never stopped working for peace&love ever since,” he wrote. “I send my peace love&continuous support to everyone marching & speaking up for justice & a better world.” See the post below.

McCartney’s message called on fans to “learn more, listen more, talk more, educate ourselves and, above all, take action”. He also reflected on a Beatles show in Jacksonville in 1964 that was meant to have a segregated audience and the band’s response when they found out.
