Ringo Starr will throw your stuff in the bin rather than autograph it
Ringo Starr’s charm offensive - or should that be offensive charm? - continues. After admitting to Jonathan Ross that he misses precisely nowt about his hometown Liverpool - that’s Liverpool, European City Of Culture - Ringo now appears to have gone for the full Meldrew.
What this means is that if you send him something to sign, he won’t do it. In fact, after 20th October, any fanmail he is sent will be chucked in the bin.
I guess he - or his butler - will still need to actually open said mail first, just in case it’s something important like a gas bill, or an invitation to lunch with the Queen.
But be under no illusions, because Ringo says so in a video on his website (straightforwardly titled “Sorry, No More Signing Stuff”) - if you send him something to sign, for your Dad’s birthday, or your sick niece’s dying wish, he will not entertain the notion. He’s just too busy. Got that, pesky adorers?
But he does soften the blow by rather aggressively jabbing a V-sign at the camera repeatedly, while chanting “Peaceandlove, peaceandlove” as if it’s a threat of violence. Way to utilise online communications to bring you closer to your fans, Ringo.

How absolutely rude. I say we send more stuff than ever and he’ll spend all his “time” throwing things away!!
Quite right, Kristie. I just packed a bunch of unwanted pizza menus off to each of his residences around the globe.
I think people have taken his words out of contex again after his “Liverpool” comment and not wanting to live there anymore..If you think about how much mail he gets through his door a week and he is not there half the time? Also alot of this mail is probably banal asking him weird questions about the meaning of life or if PAUL is really dead etc..
RINGO is far from a misery guts and anyone who has met him will clarify this. He has not said he will never sign stuff face to face for people by the way. He just does not get the time to read it all give the guy a break!
