Ringo Starr has no intention of slowing down. In a recent video update for fans, the former Beatle announced his very busy itinerary for 2024.

First update: the drummer/singer has a new country project in the works. “I’m still in the studio, and you know what’s happening? I was gonna do a … country EP, but as things are unfolding, it’s probably going to be like a real CD, 10 tracks. Can you believe it? I haven’t done one of them in a long time. So that’s getting made ready.”

Second update: he has a new four-song EP coming out (“Crooked Boy”), the result of a collaboration with songwriter/producer Linda Perry. “She wrote the songs for me. She produced them. She’s a beauty, so musical,” Starr said. “She has a great vibe. Peace and love, Linda.” The video also displayed the “Crooked Boy” EP’s packaging, revealing that the songs are titled “Gonna Need Someone,” “Crooked Boy,” “February Sky,” and “Adeline.” In addition, Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi played on all four tracks, while Perry contributed guitar and backing vocals to some of the tunes.

And the final part of Ringo’s update: his 2024 tour plans with his “All Starr Band.” “In May-June, we’re on tour again,” he said. “And if you can’t make those dates, in September-October we’re on tour again. So it’s gonna be a great year.”
