Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr’s friendship has survived decades. The only surviving members of The Beatles, now both well into their 80s, have a special bond.
“With John and George not here, I think we realize nothing lasts forever,” Paul told The New York Times of himself and Ringo. 

Paul said, he and Ringo “grasp onto what we have now because we realize that it’s very special.”
“It’s something hardly anyone else has. In fact, in our case, it’s something no one else has,” he continued. “There’s only me and Ringo, and we’re the only people who can share those memories.”
When McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison crossed paths with Starr in 1962 and invited him to join their group, it was a consequential move.

“He was a fantastic drummer,” Paul recalled. “We asked him if he would be in our band, and luckily for us he agreed.”

Ringo Starr wasn’t the first drummer to play with The Beatles, but, according to Paul McCartney, he was the best.

 

“Even though I’ve played with other drummers, he’s the best,” McCartney said. “Ringo has got a certain feel that is very difficult for other drummers to capture. He’s Ringo. And nobody else is.”

Starr’s love for drumming dates back to 1957 when his stepfather bought him his first kit.

“When I first started, my mother would come to the gigs. She would always say, ‘You know, son, I always feel you’re at your happiest when you’re playing your drums.’ So she noticed,” he said. “And I do. I love to hit those buggers.”

In the decades that followed, Starr’s love of drumming didn’t wane. That remains true to this day:  “Well, I love what I’m doing,” Ringo said of how he continues to work as he ages. “… I live in the now. I didn’t plan any of it. I love that life I’m allowed to live.”
