Wings
‘Wings’ is a song that Ringo first recorded for 1977’s ‘Ringo The 4th’, and while that version has the edge vocally, this new version is better overall.

I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl
Like a bad trip, in this animated video, a bearded Ringo ‘appears’ in a short yellow dress and with a pink ribbon in his hair. Bizarre in the extreme!

From 02-06-18 to 29-09-18, Ringo toured Europe and the USA with his 13th All-Starr Band, starring: Steve Lukather (Toto), Colin Hay (Men At Work), Gregg Rolie (Santana/Journey), Graham Gouldman (10cc), Gregg Bissonette and Warren Ham (Bloodrock/Kansas/AD). At the time of writing in spring 2019, Ringo is touring Japan with his 14th All-Starr Band, featuring all of the above with the exception of Graham Gouldman, who is replaced by Hamish Stuart.
Ringo, like Paul, shows no signs of stopping just yet!
