Longtime Beverly Hills resident Ringo Starr hosted his annual birthday celebration at Beverly Gardens Park on July 7. Joined by family, friends and well-wishers, Starr issued a global invitation for everyone to think, say or post #PeaceandLove at noon local time to fulfill his birthday wish of a wave of Peace and Love encircling the planet.
This special birthday celebration tradition began in 2008, when Ringo responded to a journalist’s question about what he wanted for his birthday. “The idea just came to me – that at noon your local time on July 7, my birthday – wherever you are, if you want to, say, think or post ‘Peace & Love.’” I decided to invite fans to join me on the streets of Chicago in front of the Hard Rock, and we have been doing it ever since.”
In 2019 there were over 30 Peace & Love events all around the world. Last year the pandemic prevented an in-person event. Instead, Ringo moved the celebration to the virtual “Ringo’s Big Birthday Show,” which featured unseen and unique performances by Ringo, Sir Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow and many more. The show was broadcast globally and raised funds for the Black Lives Matter Global Network, the David Lynch Foundation, Musicares and WaterAid. This year there were Peace & Love regional gatherings, both in person and on Zoom, in Argentina, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Japan, Italy, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, elsewhere in the U.S.
Afterward, Ringo shared with the Courier, “During this time of the pandemic… Barbara and I had a beautiful time with some of our friends as we celebrated my birthday with our traditional Peace & Love moment in front of my hand sculpture in Beverly Hills. I had a wonderful birthday… thanks to everyone who celebrated with me.”
