Ringo Starr has come down with a cold, and he and his his All Starr Band have been forced to cancel the last two remaining shows of their tour.
The group was scheduled to perform at Philadelphia’s TD Pavilion at The Mann on Tuesday (Sept. 24) and at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on Wednesday (Sept. 25), however, “after consulting a doctor [Starr] was advised to cancel these two remaining shows and get rest,” per a press release.
Fans are encouraged to contact their ticket point of purchase for refunds. “As always, Ringo and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them soon,” the statement concludes.
“We love it. I know the audience loves me. And I love them,” the 84-year-old Beatles star previously told Billboard of touring. “And the band has only one rule: We’re not there to be miserable. And I’ll support you to the best of my ability and I expect the same from you. We do it for each other.”
Starr dropped his latest four-track EP, Rewind Forward, back in October 2023. “It’s all about going forward. It’s just the fact that sometimes we all get stuck and have to fight your way out,” he said of the project. “Oh, I’ve been stuck many times!”
