Ringo Starr's Battle With Aging: A Health Scare Forces Tour Cancellation

Let’s talk about Ringo Starr. The man who has always been a health enthusiast is now facing some challenges as he ages. According to an exclusive source speaking to Closer, even Ringo’s meticulous health routines aren’t cutting it like they used to. At 84 years old, the legendary drummer is starting to feel the effects of time.

Ringo Starr Cancels U.S. Tour Due to Health Concerns

Recently, Ringo had to cancel the remaining shows of his U.S. tour, which was supposed to wrap up with a highly anticipated performance at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. This decision came after consulting with his doctor about a nasty cold that had been lingering. The advice? Take it easy for a while. It’s not just a cold; it’s a reminder that even the most health-conscious among us can’t escape the inevitable march of time.

Ringo’s Lifelong Commitment to Health

For decades, Ringo has been a poster child for clean living. The source explains, “He’s been on an all-organic vegan diet for years and hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol in 36 years. But even with his obsession with health and avoiding germs, the flu bug is still finding its way to him.”

It’s not just a minor inconvenience; it’s a growing concern for Ringo and his team. “For a guy who prided himself on never getting the sniffles, this is truly worrying,” the source adds. Before kicking off his fall tour, Ringo opened up about his health regimen, revealing just how dedicated he is to staying fit and feeling good.

What Keeps Ringo Going?

In an interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Ringo shared some of his secrets. “I watch what I eat. I’ve been vegetarian for the last 25 years. There were times when I strayed, but I’ve been back on track since 1992. Proper eating is crucial, and I’m always promoting it,” he said. It’s clear that Ringo takes his diet seriously.

But it’s not just about what he eats. Ringo also prioritizes physical activity. “I go to the gym regularly. I have a trainer who comes to my home three times a week, and I work out on my own too. On tour, I try to hit the gym at least four mornings a week. Staying active and eating right is key,” he explained. Ringo knows the importance of staying in shape, both physically and mentally.

A History of Health Challenges

This isn’t the first time Ringo has had to cancel shows due to health issues. Back in October 2022, he had to pull out of multiple tour dates after catching COVID-19. At the time, he prioritized his health and decided not to push himself too hard. This recent cold is serious enough to have him taking his show off the road once again, and it’s got him thinking about what’s next.

“It’s got him panicking over what’s next. This can’t be good for an 84-year-old. But at least Ringo’s dealing with it head-on,” the source reveals. Despite his best efforts, Ringo is starting to realize that no amount of herbal remedies or meditation can stop the clock.

Ringo’s Journey to Health and Wellness

Ringo wasn’t always this health-conscious. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, he was known for his wild lifestyle. Now, he’s all about maintaining his health, and the source says this shift is helping him manage the anxiety that comes with aging. “He drowns himself in herbal remedies, teas, and vitamin supplements. He’s a firm believer in meditation and chanting,” the source explains.

But as much as he tries, the inevitable is catching up with him. “He’s doing his best to fight off the effects of aging, but it’s not working like it used to. He needs to accept that he’s getting older and that his mortality is inching closer,” the source concludes.
