Ringo Starr's Biggest Regret When It Came to the Beatles
Though their run was short, the Beatles amassed a career that left them with very little to regret. Though they might have had qualms shortly after their infamous breakup, in hindsight, it was a pretty stellar tenure. In fact, if Ringo Starr regrets anything it’s that they didn’t push harder to get back together. Learn more about why Starr wished he got the band back together before it was too late, below.
There was never an official Beatles reunion. The individual band members joined forces from time to time, but they never operated under that banner again. Any hopes of that happening were dashed in 1980, when John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman.
Then, a couple of decades later, George Harrison passed away after a battle with lung cancer. His death firmly cemented that any Beatles reunion that might happen in the future would only be halfway complete.
Even before their breakup and those losses happened, the band had taken a step back from touring. After years of playing countless shows with roaring fans, the foursome felt their touring life had grown too complex and difficult to manage. Their solution to that problem was to retire from the stage entirely.
