Citando:
"The Beatles’ Ringo Starr and Bee Gees co-founder Barry Gibb have been awarded knighthoods in the New Year Honours, alongside a string of political figures including former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and key Tory backbencher Graham Brady.

Gibb, who is recognised for his services to music and charity, dedicated the honour to his late brothers and former bandmates and said: “The magic, the glow, and the rush will last me the rest of my life.”"

Citando:
"As tributes to pour in from Petty’s musical contemporaries (...)
“Sending love to Tom Petty and his family at this difficult time,” McCartney wrote, before adding: “so sad to hear of his passing. What a lovely, intelligent and talented man he was.”

Starr, meanwhile, wrote: “God bless Tom Petty, peace and love to his family”. He added: “I’m sure going to miss you Tom”. See those tweets (...)"

E um artigo da BBC sobre a forma como reagiu (quase sempre compreensivamente) a pessoas com músicas parecidas:
http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41482121
Citando (BBC e a Rolling Stone):
"Petty told Rolling Stone: "I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock 'n' roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry.""

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3818336/george-harrisons-widow-lost-beatles-song-ringo-starr/

Citando:
"George is thought to have written it as a plea for the band to stay together around the time of their 1970 split.

She told of Ringo’s shock — and said she hopes the star, 76, and fellow surviving Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, 74, put it to music.

She said: “He’d never seen this song before. He was so surprised. There was a folder in George’s piano bench."

2017-05-17: História da gravação de WALHFMF

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/inside-beatles-with-a-little-help-from-my-friends-w482062

Citando:
""I always saw those [songs] as the equivalent of writing a James Bond film theme," McCartney explained in Barry Miles' biography, Many Years From Now. "It was a challenge. It was something out of the ordinary for us because we actually had to write in a key for Ringo and you had to be a little tongue in cheek." Like school kids, the songwriting partners procrastinated on the assignment until the last possible moment. Starr's track would be the last one composed for the album."

2017-05-11: Apartamento usado por GH e RS (tour de 1964) para arrendar

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4495294/Ringo-Starr-George-Harrison-s-former-flat-rent.html

Citando:
"Apartment in Knightsbridge was home to the legendary music stars during their first world tour in 1964 

It is where the Beatles met for a cup of tea before travelling to Buckingham Palace to receive their MBEs 

The pair, who shared the Whaddon House flat with George’s future wife, Pattie Boyd, moved into the property after it was recommended to them by their manager, Brian Epstein, who lived upstairs to keep an eye on them."

2017-03-02: Leilão de single (45rpm) autografado

Ask Me Why / Please, Please Me autografado vai a leilão e pode chegar aos 40K USD na Heritage Auctions:
https://www.finebooksmagazine.com/press/2017/02/autographed-45-of-the-beatles-please-please-me-may-bring-40000-at-heritage-auctions.phtml

Citando:
"The record includes recordings of Ask Me Why and Please Please Me (est. $40,000). John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr all signed the Ask Me Why B-side of the record; McCartney and Harrison also signed the reverse side, which features an A-side recording of Please Please Me. Given to its original owner at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, the single was released Jan. 11, 1963, 13 days before a signing session at the NEMS record shop, where the signatures likely were acquired.

A photo of the Fab Four signed by all four members of the band (est. $18,000) also is expected to draw heavy interest at the auction. The 8-by-10 glossy black-and-white picture, taken in early 1965 in the Bahamas, is signed with a felt-tip pen and includes a certificate of authenticity from Heritage Auctions and Tracks LTD.

An original pressing of the Help! Album Signed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison of the Beatles (Capitol MAS 2386, 1965), (est. $12,000) will be available to collectors in the auction. The Gatefold Mono LP was the band’s eighth album for Capitol and the soundtrack for the band’s second major motion picture. It contains seven Beatles songs from the film with six instrumental pieces interspersed.

Savvy collectors and Beatles fans alike are expected to clamor for an extremely rare piece of memorabilia: a Postcard Signed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Substitute Drummer Jimmie Nicol (est. $10,000). In addition to the band members’ signatures, this 3.5-by-5.5-inch postcard includes the inscription: “To Judy / Best Wishes / Jimmie Nicol” that was written by Nicol, who was filling in on the band’s Australian tour for regular drummer Ringo Starr, who was ill with tonsillitis and stayed home during much of the tour. According to the accompanying letter of provenance, the signatures were acquired by a 24-year-old steward who remembers serving Lennon two boiled eggs for breakfast aboard the plane to Sydney."
