Ringo Starr still loves sharing the stage with former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney!
On Monday, April 20, the legendary drummer, 85, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that he had seen Starr at McCartney’s concert “a couple of weeks ago,” seemingly referring to his show at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California in March.
“He played a theater, you know, for him, he’s used to bigger places, but the band was great. He was great,” Starr gushed. “All the seats were taken from the front, so they stood. The atmosphere, I loved it.”

“I’m going to come cause I want to see him,” the musician added.
The TV personality also asked Starr if, when he’s watching McCartney, 83, “Do you go, like, ‘I’d like to get on stage’ or are you happier watching?”
“I’ve gone on stage with him four or five times,” Starr laughed. “It’s still great for me to play with Paul.”

When it comes to making new music together again, Starr and McCartney have actually teamed up for a duet on McCartney’s upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, scheduled for release on May 29. Starr described the track, which is titled “Home to Us,” as “really great.”
“It’s amusing, and it’s very real cause that’s where we come from,” Starr told Kimmel.
