Former Beatle Ringo Starr won’t be playing with the other surviving Beatle, Paul McCartney, who turns 70 on June 18 after Paul came to play at Starr’s 70th birthday celebrations at Radio City Music Hall.  “I do know what he’s doing on his birthday and I know what I’m doing and we’re not doing it together but I do send him a lot of love,” said Starr.  He called McCartney: “The most amazing bass player for me. He’s the most melodic I’ve ever worked with.”   Ringo also said neither of his two sons, including drummer Zak Starkey, would be part of a band rumoured to be formed by the children of the Beatles, “as far as I know.”  There are a couple of major Beatles anniversaries this year: the 50th anniversary of their first single, Love Me Do, and the 45th anniversary of the release of their landmark album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  Starr said Sgt. Pepper’s meant as much to the Fab Four as it’s gone on to mean for everyone else. “It was going to be like a musical,” Starr said. “And after two tracks we thought, ‘Sod it, let’s just do music.’ … It is an important album, it just like works.”
