JAC185 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7666826.stmFormer Beatle Ringo Starr will no longer sign memorabilia for fans and will throw away all fan mail he receives in the future, he has said."Please do not send fan mail to any address you have," he said in a video message on his website."Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it's gonna be tossed."I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do," the 68-year-old drummer said.Dressed in black clothes and dark glasses, Starr said it was "a serious message to everybody watching".He added: "No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."SculptureStarr, who released his most recent album Liverpool 8 in January, recently completed a tour of the US and Canada.The musician currently divides his time between Los Angeles, the South of France and his UK home in Surrey.In April, a foliage sculpture of Starr outside a train station in Liverpool was beheaded by vandals.The performer had reportedly angered some locals when he told the BBC's Jonathan Ross he missed nothing about the city.

GivenToFly Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Can't blame him. He probably receives tons of fan mail and I assume it's pretty repetitive and boring. I sure wouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projected Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Seems like his age is catching up on him.He's still cool, and is my favorite Beatle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Still six days left to get things signed! What do you want to bet he gets about 200X as much stuff to sign in the last week because of this announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
