Ringo Starr and his band, All-Starr, were forced to cancel two concerts after the drummer fell ill. The group were due to perform in New Buffalo, Michigan, on Saturday just a couple of hours after the cancellation was announced and then again in Minnesota on Sunday.
A spokesperson for the band has said that 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, reports the Mirror.
The band were also due to perform on Sunday night in Prior Lake, Minnesota, but the venue announced that the show would be cancelled in a statement online.
Mystic Lake Casino tweeted: "Ringo is sick and was hoping to be able to perform, hence the late notice, but it has affected his voice,” Mystic said on its website. “He and the band send peace and love to all the fans who were planning to come out and see the show. A rescheduled date will be announced in the future.”
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. The Mirror has contacted his reps for comment.
