Ringo Starr sent Paul McCartney a touching birthday message, mentioning their time together at The Beatles.
McCartney turned 80 on Saturday (June 18th), 11 months after Starr reached the age limit.
To mark the occasion, Starr posted a photo on Twitter showing the peace sign flashing.
He added: “They say it’s your birthday Saturday, happy birthday, Paul, I love you, man, have a great day peace and love Ringo and Barbara love love peace and love. [sic]”
Starr is married to Barbara Bach, a Bond ex-girlfriend who appeared in 1991’s The Spy Who Loved Me.
His message refers to the Beatles ‘song “Birthday”, which opens the second half of the Beatles’ 1968 recording, more commonly called The White Album.
He remained friends with McCartney and in 2018 performed “Get Back” with him on stage at London’s 02 Arena with Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.
