The ban is broken: Ringo signs some drum sticks
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 September 2010
Ringo Starr may no longer be signing crap for fans, but he is offering one lucky person a pair of signed drumsticks, so that’s something.
As previously reported, back in 2008 the former Beatle took to the internet with a video message telling people to stop sending him things to sign. He would no longer be signing tat, he warned, so don’t send any in, peace and love, peace and love. He later explained that he’d introduced the autograph ban because of the high number of people sending him things to sign so they could sell them on eBay.
But he is now offering some signed merchandise for the fan who sends in the best photo taken on the most recent tour by Ringo’s All Starr Band. But if you do send in a photo for consideration, be warned. “Whatever you send you don’t get back, just remember that, OK?” Ringo cautions, adding: “I mean that with peace and love”. Of course he does.
