With The Beatles as popular as ever, no wonder Ringo Starr was, according to many, the luckiest man in pop music when he replaced Pete Best as the group's drummer.
This new edition brings Starr's life right up to date including Ringo's 500,000 pound fees for voiceovers; the continuing box-office popularity of his All Starr Band; his new studio album, 'Vertical Man' ("his best since 1973", according to 'Mojo'); The Beatles' Anthology autobiography and the '1' album; his children's entertainment work; and rediscovered information about Ringo's ancestry.
