Ringo Starrs eventful and remarkable life laid bare in a first-of-its-kind mosaic biography of one of the greatest musicians of all time
Often overshadowed by his former bandmates, Ringo Starr has his own remarkable story that is no less compelling. Ringo: A Fab Life highlights a life so jaw-droppingly eventful that one is left wondering how he also had time to become one of the best musicians on the planet.
Employing an episodic, mosaic format, critically acclaimed author Tom Doyle takes readers through the ride of a lifetime, from Starrs brushes with death as a child brought up in poverty, through to dizzying heights of fame and success with the Beatles and beyond. By examining pivotal moments, anecdotes, and cautionary tales, we see Starr soar as part of the biggest band in the world and then try to cope with life outside of it with a film career, misadventures with friends, childrens TV narration, furniture designing, and marriage to a Bond girl, before eventually finding peace and sobriety as one of the elder statesmen of rock.
So much more than another Beatles biography, Ringo follows Starrs career far beyond the rose-tinted 60s, through the various addictions and career left turns in the 70s and 80s, before reaching the 90s, his legacy and reputation intact.
The life of Richard Starkey is long overdue for a proper inspection, and this book with exclusive new interviews conducted by Doyle with Starr himself, among others provides a never-before-seen level of detail that will delight hardcore fans and curious readers alike.
