Ringo Starr explains why Paul McCartney still amazes him

Ringo Starr has nothing but praise for his Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney.

During a recent chat with People at his Peace and Love 86th birthday event on July 7, the legendary Beatles drummer talked about working with his longtime pal Paul and what makes their recent duet Home to Us special.

Talking about their new song from McCartney’s latest album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Ringo Starr said, “Well, it’s the first time we’ve ever done it like a couple — we’re both singing it.

"I’ve sang a few choruses on his tracks. He’s played on my tracks. He’s come over with the bass.”

The drummer, whose real name is Sir Richard Starkey, joked, “It’s not like we don’t know each other.”

Ringo went on to gush over their collaboration, saying, “I loved it because we were in this band together, and it’s just the best band ever.

"And Paul, his bass playing is incredible, and he’s a songwriter.

"I mean, I can go on forever. He’s just a wonderful lad.”

Paul McCartney released his song Home to Us on May 8, featuring as the second single in his 20th solo studio album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

Ringo and Paul previously joined forces in Ringo's Rewind Forward in 2023, in which Paul played all instruments.

Before this, they had also collaborated on Paul's Flaming Pie in 1997 and Ringo's Give More Love in 2017.
