With his trademark message of peace and love, Ringo Starr as announced the postponement of his 2020 tour and shifted it a year.
The Beatles legend and his All Starr Band were set to play Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on June 23-24, but the tour is being pushed back “out of an abundance of caution for the well-being of fans, crew and staff due to the Covid-19 crisis.” Those shows will now take place June 22-23, 2021.
Previously purchased tickets will be honored; other ticketing inquiries can be directed to 770-916-2852.
Tickets are also on sale for $71-$161 via www.ticketmaster.com.
The current incarnation of the All Starr Band features Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Gregg Rolie, Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette, and Hamish Stuart.
“This is very difficult for me,” Starr said in a statement. “In 30 years I think I’ve only missed 2 or 3 gigs nevermind a whole tour. But this is how things are for all of us now, I have to stay in just like you have to stay in, and we all know it’s the peace and loving thing we do for each other. So we have moved the Spring tour to 2021. My fans know I love them, and I love to play for them and I can’t wait to see you all as soon as possible. In the meantime stay safe. Peace and Love to you all.”
