Ringo Starr’s biggest regret about the Beatles
As mentioned the Beatles broke up back in 1970 and everyone started solo music. It was really devastating news for the fans because the Beatles were really a very big thing and they still are however, people were crazier about them at that time than now. Although they were really popular and successful as a band, they were certainly successful as solo artists as well.

Talking to Rolling Stone Ringo stated, “We still had the songs and we still could play, e could have put it together and we could have done ‘A Day In The Life’.” He said that the band could not perform or got together because of their lack of communication, in the same interview Ringo said, “With the technology, you have now we could have got it together, I think the stumbling block was just sitting around and saying, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ We never got to that.

Even now we wish that John was here and could perform again together with the band, however, no matter how much we wish John is not returning and we have to live with this bitter truth. Although John passed away, we have his legendary music with us and we can listen to him whenever we want to. He and the Beatles will remain in our hearts for eternity and their legends will be passed on from generation to generation.
