They Overcame Rocky Childhoods

Ringo Starr

“I think Paul and Ringo stand up anywhere with any of the rock musicians. Not technically great. He [Ringo] was always a good drummer,” said John Lennon. It is true that Ringo Starr was a good drummer and contributed much to his band but do folks know about how hard it was for him at a young age?

He was a very sickly child, always in and out of hospitals for different conditions. This would last for a cumulative time of two years. There was a six-month span when he had reached down for something and ended up falling off the bed. All of his stitches came undone and he was forced to stay another six months.
