Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band didn’t take the stage Saturday night because the famous drummer was sick.
The Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Michigan was shut down after the 82-year-old former Beatle realized he was unable to perform. Whatever he had was taking a toll on his voice, so just a few hours before the scheduled show…it was canceled.
A spokesperson for the band said Ringo does not have COVID, but did not say he was sick.
There appears to be some hope that the concert may be rescheduled, which is good news on the health front. The promoters said people could get their money back if they wanted to.
Fans who came to the concert were not told the reason for the cancellation… just that it wasn’t going to happen.
One concert-goer told TMZ that he went to Four Winds Casino management and insisted on why the show was being banned and was told Ringo was sick but wouldn’t be going on.
Ringo and the band have a show scheduled for Sunday night in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Stay tuned for updates.
