Overview
- In a Sept. 19 Page Six interview, Starr said he believes the group would have reunited to make music if John Lennon and George Harrison had not died.
- Starr described what he misses most about the band as the friendship and support among the four members, framing the reunion comment around personal bonds rather than business plans.
- He confirmed he and Paul McCartney remain close, saying they speak a couple of times a month and have continued to appear on each other’s recent records.
- The remarks come while Starr is promoting his 22nd solo album Long Long Road and touring with his All Starr Band, with a scheduled return to Forest Hills Stadium on Oct. 1.
- Interest in the band has increased because Sam Mendes’s four-film Beatles project has named its principal cast and is slated for simultaneous release in 2028, a development that could spur more reissues and public attention to individual Beatles’ stories.
