RINGO TO PLAY NASHVILLE CONCERT

Ringo has added more dates to his latest "All-Starr Band" tour, which includes a stop at the Ryman on June 19. Ringo Starr will return to Nashville's Ryman Auditorium this summer.

Ticket prices and on-sale dates have not been announced.

This will be Starr's first Nashville concert since July 7, 2012 -- which was also at the Ryman and happened to fall on his 72nd birthday. The show was filmed for a concert DVD, "Ringo at the Ryman."

"You know, it's hard for me to believe — Ringo at the Ryman!" he said on stage that night. "Far out. A man could only dream."

Ringo told The Tennessean in 2012 that Nashville was a city he "always loved," thinking back to his early days as a country music fan in the port city of Liverpool, England.

"A lot of people in the Merchant Navy there were bringing over the records from America. That's how we got most of them. And Liverpool itself, in England, is still the capital of country music."
