I still get stage fright: Ringo Starr

Beatles legend Ringo Starr says he still gets the nerves before each concert.

He is 71 and has been performing on stage for five decades now,but Beatles legend Ringo Starr says he still gets the nerves before each concert.

Being a part of one of the most successful groups of all time hasn’t stopped Starr getting stage fright every time he plays in public,but he said he gets by with a little help from his friends,reported ‘Daily Mail’.

“I feel like running away three seconds before I’m due to hit the stage. That’s why I always run on to it. I would love to coolly stroll on stage but I cannot,” said Starr.

“I love performing but I just have this nervousness every time,” he added.

The former Beatles drummer said that he does not mind that he is still thought of primarily as a member of the band.

“I AM a Beatle and will always stay one. So people always refer to me as a Beatle and that’s not something that bothers me. Many bands are still judged by the standards of The Beatles.

The drummer is currently touring Europe under his everlasting motto ‘Peace & Love’.
