Ringo: With a Little Help Hardcover – June 1, 2015 by Michael Seth Starr

Description from Amazon: Ringo: With a Little Help, is the first in-depth biography of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who kept the beat for an entire generation and who remains a rock icon over fifty years since the Beatles took the world by storm. With a Little Help traces the entire arc of Ringos remarkable life and career, from his sickly childhood to his life as The Worlds Most Famous drummer to his triumphs, addictions, and emotional battles following the breakup of the Beatles as he comes to terms with his legacy. Born in 1940 as Richard Starkey in The Dingle, one of Liverpools most gritty, rough-and-tumble neighborhoods, he rose from a hardscrabble childhoodmarked by serious illnesses, long hospital stays, and little schoolingto emerge, against all odds, as a locally renowned drummer. Taking the stage name Ringo Starr, his big break with the Beatles rocketed him to the pinnacle of worldwide acclaim in a remarkably short time. He was the last member of the Beatles to join the group but also the most vulnerable, and his post-Beatles career was marked by chart-topping successes, a jet-setting life of excess and alcohol abuse, and, ultimately, his rebirth as one of rock's revered elder statesman.

It's funny how the book is written by Michael STARR, was he commissioned by Ringo STARR himself to write a biography on him? ;) Even Sadie speculated it might Ringo himself who wrote it! But then I figured, well that isn't much of a disguise naming himself Mr. Starr!

Regardless, I am excited to read this book when I get it someday! I visited my local Barnes & Noble. Here are a few snapshots I got!

Also a recap of Ringo & friends celebrating a moment of Peace & Love on his Birthday, July 7 2015! https://www.facebook.com/ringostarrmusic/videos/10153051472347677/
