It was today has confirmed that Ringo is sick with Covid and the tour will be on hold while Ringo recovers.”

Ringo Starr got sick and canceled the concert
Ringo has been on tour and has a string of shows coming up that appear to be on hold for now – including five Canadian dates through Sunday … that were supposed to start in Winnipeg. He has many more concerts here in the US starting next week
Ringo’s diagnosis came after he canceled a concert this weekend in Prior Lake, Minnesota – although it was noted that he was ill, it was officially said that he did not have a “rona”. He’s obviously contracted it since then.
There is no word on whether Ringo is the only one who contracted the virus or if the rest of his bandmates are also sick. He toured with a group of musicians called the All-Starr Band.
