Ringo Starr Shares 'Peace And Love' Birthday Wish

"Let’s spread peace and love on my birthday - c’mon everybody!"

*Ringo Starr* has asked fans to share peace and love with one another in his birthday.

The genial drummer and Beatles icon kicked off his birthday tradition in 2008 - when someone asked him what he wanted for his big day, he replied "peace and love!"

It's become an annual event, with Ringo Starr usually hosting in-person 'peace and love' events, accompanied by some guests.

In 2019 there was over 30 Peace & Love events across the globe, but the pandemic has prevented in-person events.

In a new message, Ringo Starr has invited fans across the world to get involved at noon on July 7th to wish each other peace and love.

He says: “I’m inviting everyone who wants to join the peace and love celebration for my birthday at Noon your time wherever you are, 7-7-21 - you can post it, you can say it, you can even think it – but it would be really cool if you go Peace and Love at noon on my birthday - so let’s spread peace and love on my birthday - c’mon everybody!”

The International Space Station are even getting involved, commenting: "From 260 miles above our home planet, NASA Astronauts wish Ringo Starr a happy 80th birthday! Since our orbiting laboratory operates in Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, it’s officially July 7 – a perfect date to send #PeaceAndLove to everyone across the universe!"
