Beatles legend Ringo Starr has been forced to cancel a concert after falling ill.
The 82-year-old musician was set to perform with his band All-Starr in New Buffalo, Michigan, on Saturday. However, they were forced to pull the performance just a few hours before it was due to take place due to him getting sick.
A spokesperson for the band revealed the 82-year-old's illness is not related to Covid-19 but they did not confirm his diagnosis. His mystery illness has affected his voice, reported The Mirror.

The band is due to perform on Sunday evening in Prior Lake, Minnesota, but with Ringo's condition, it is unsure whether they will continue. As reported by TMZ, a concertgoer went to Four Winds Casino's management and asked about the cancellation. However, they were only told Ringo was ill and weren't given any more information.
Ringo celebrated his 82nd birthday in early July and held his annual Peace and Love party. He has had a busy year as he and his band finished the first part of their Spring Tour 2022 at the end of June in Florida.
The tour was postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The second part of their tour will end on October 20 in Mexico City.
Meanwhile, drummer Ringo recently told how the pop legends used to accuse each other of passing wind while they performed together. Ringo let rip – verbally – about it after being shown a clip from Peter Jackson’s Apple TV documentary Let It Be.
Back in 1969 Ringo, was shown admitting that he had let one fly in a band meeting. After watching his confession replayed on American TV, Ringo confided: “We learned that when we were in a band, when we started out, if anybody let a silent one go, they would try and get away with it.”
Ringo recalled: “It caused terrible trouble. (Each of us would say) ‘it wasn’t me – it was you!’ It came to blows”.
