Attention Beatles fans, autograph hunters and people who just like sending random stuff in the post to drummers from 60s bands: as of 20th October, Ringo Starr doesn't want your mail any more...
He won't be opening it and he definitely won't be signing anything - especially "objects". This peculiar demand was made in a "serious message" posted to his official website. It's all very strange, firstly why 20th October? Secondly, why make such a big song and dance about it? Thirdly, what's "peace and love" got to do with it? I wonder if it's got anything to do with that Simpsons episode where he writes back to Marge a couple of decades after she sent him a painting.
Does Ringo's ban include the Innovations catalogue? There's a few items in there I think he might like. At any rate, you better get to your Post Office quick - now that Ringo's set his deadline there's sure to be a queue of people taking one final opportunity to send him stuff. Just mark your envelopes Ringo Starr, Freepost, Beatleville and they'll get to him.

He's lost the plot.
After some of the things he's said recently everyone should boycott anything he does.
Mind you it's garbage anyway. It's a shame when someone who was the least talented in the band (and not the originl drummer) let stardom take over and forget there roots.
He should write to the fans individually and appologise. What a talentless pratt!!
