In a 43-second video message, the legendary Beatles drummer told fans he had a “serious message” to relay. He then gave fans one week’s notice as he told them directly, “With peace and love, I want to tell you, after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have.”
At the time, Starr received backlash from many who felt he seemed unappreciative of his fans. He soon issued a statement to Rolling Stone to explain that he was tired of seeing items with his autograph being peddled online.

“So I only sign for charity now, mainly my charity and [my wife] Barbara's charity,” he explained.
“I been tossed with peace and love,” one commenter wrote on Instagram.
In a Reddit thread, one fan wanted to know, “Did anyone send Ringo fan mail after the 20th of October? Did he respond?”
Starr’s Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney also commented on the situation.
“I love it, “ McCartney said on Stern’s show. “You’ve got to love Ringo. The thing is, you know Ringo was always like that. He was the one if fans came to his door, he just said, ‘P--- off. This is my private life. Out there I'm a Beatle, that’s fine, but I'm at home with babies and a wife, I don't want that.’ And I think it's very brave of Ringo to just go you know, 'Peace and love, peace and love. I'm not going to sign.'"
