Ringo Starr reveals what makes him and fellow Beatle PaulMcCartney work so well together.
Starr spoke to People about his 2026 duet with McCartney, “Home to Us,” at his Peace and Love 86th birthday event in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 7.
“Well, it’s the first time we’ve ever done it like a couple — we’re both singing it. I’ve sang a few choruses on his tracks. He’s played on my tracks. He’s come over with the bass,” Starr said.
Adding, “It’s not like we don’t know each other.”
“Home to Us” was released on May 8 and was one of the singles from McCartney’s solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
“I loved it because we were in this band together, and it’s just the best band ever. And Paul, his bass playing is incredible, and he’s a songwriter. I mean, I can go on forever. He’s just a wonderful lad,” Starr said.
The two surviving members of the Beatles are no strangers to collaboration.
Starr played the drums for McCartney's Flaming Pie album in 1997. While McCartney played bass on Starr’s Give More Love album and all instruments on his 2023 record Rewind Forward.
The newly 86-year-old came out with a country album, Long Long Road, in April.
“I’ve always loved country. I did a country album 50 years ago, [Beaucoups of Blues]. That was great because it just came about [by chance]. George [Harrison] was making a record, and I was playing on it after [the Beatles] had broken up,” he said.
“He had called this guy PeteDrake from Nashville to come over and play on it. And for whatever reason, we sent my car to Heathrow Airport to pick him up. And he comes in and says to me, ‘Hey, I see you like country music’ — because I had a lot of country cassettes in the car,” he continued. “‘You gotta come to Nashville and make a record.’ I said, ‘I don’t think so, I can’t spend months in Nashville.’ He said, ‘[BobDylan’s] Nashville Skyline took two days!’”
Starr continued, “So I went to Nashville and did a record in two days. We got up in the morning, talked to the songwriters and we found songs, and in the afternoon we recorded them. That was a really good experience.”
