Sir Richard Starkey (born 7 July 1940), known professionally as Ringo Starr, is an English musician and actor who achieved international fame as the drummer for the Beatles. Starr occasionally sang lead vocals with the group, usually for one song on each album, including "Yellow Submarine" and "With a Little Help from My Friends". He also wrote and sang the Beatles songs "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden", and is credited as a co-writer of four others. As of 2025, Starr is, to date, the longest-living member of the band.
