Richard Starkey, MBE (born July 7, 1940 in Liverpool, England), known by his stage name Ringo Starr (drawn from the many rings that adorn his hands), is a popular British musician, best known as drummer for The Beatles. Ringo is known for his reliable, steady drumming and innovative fills. His everyman personality made him an easy fit with the other Beatles, as did his frequent substance usage which made him quite goofy. He was the oldest member of the band, and still is because only Paul and he are alive, and the last one to join the now familiar Fab Four lineup.
