BRAND NEW - by Tom Doyle - Publication Date, May 12, 2026 - Ringo's eventful and remarkable life laid bare in a first-of-its-kind mosaic biography of one of the greatest musicians of all time.
Often overshadowed by his former bandmates, Ringo has his own remarkabe story that is no less compelling. This book highlights a life so jaw-droppingly eventful that one is left wondering how he also had time to become one of the best musicians on the planet.
Tom Doyle takes readers through the ride of a lifetime, from Ringo's brushes with death as a child brought up in poverty, through to dizzying heights of fame and success with The Beatles and beyond. By examining pivotal moments, anecdotes, and cautionary tales, we see Ringo soar as part of the biggest band in the world - and then try to cope with life outside of it with a film career, misadventures with friends, children's TV narration, and furniture designing and marriage to a Bond girl, before eventually finding peace and sobriety as one of the elder statesmen of rock.
So much more than another Beatles biography, RINGO follows Starr's career far beyond the rose-tinted '60s, through the various addictions and career left turns in the '70s and '80s, before reaching the '90s, his legacy and reputation intact.
The life of Richard Starkey is long overdue for a proper inspection, and this book - with exclusive new interviews conducted by the author with Ringo himself, among others - provides a never-before-seen level of detail that will delight hardcore fans and curious readers alike. Softcover, 400 pages
