Скачать или смотреть Ringo Starr Opens Up | The Beatles, Fame & Recovery (Donahue 1995)

1995, Ringo Starr appeared on The Phil Donahue Show and gave one of his most open and revealing interviews of the decade. With trademark humor and honesty, Ringo looked back on the whirlwind of Beatlemania, the suffocating fame that forced the band to hide in hotel bathrooms, and the unbreakable bond between John, Paul, George, and himself — “the four musketeers” who kept each other sane when it all became too much.

He spoke candidly about his struggles after The Beatles’ breakup, the confusion of suddenly being without direction, and his descent into addiction before finding sobriety and rebuilding his life. Ringo also reflected on his solo success with Ringo (1973) and Goodnight Vienna, the role of George Martin, his love of drumming, and his enduring message of peace and love.

Joined by fellow drummer Max Weinberg, the conversation highlights Ringo’s influence on generations of musicians and his unique place in music history. This interview captures the Beatle who outlasted the madness — still funny, still real, and still playing to the people.
