The five canceled shows were part of a short run that Starr and his All-Starr Band were supposed to kick off tonight, Oct. 14, in San Jose, California. He was then set to play Paso Robles, California and Los Angeles, before two concerts in Mexico City. 

Starr was initially forced to cancel a handful of shows, and put the remainder of their tour on hold, earlier this month after Starr came down with Covid-19. 

On Saturday, Oct. 1, Starr canceled his show at Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo, MI, mere hours before he and his band were set to take the stage. At the time, the venue posted that Starr did not have Covid. A rep for the venue tells Rolling Stone that statement was provided by Starr’s management.

Ringo Starr Cancels Tour After Second Covid Diagnosis: 'I'm Sure You'll Be as Surprised as I Was'

The former Beatles drummer had previously been diagnosed with COVID in early October

Ringo Starr has a rebound COVID-19 infection, just three days after recovering from his first round with the virus.

The former Beatles drummer , 82, announced through Twitter on Thursday that he is canceling the final shows on his North American tour.

"I'm sure you'll be surprised as I was. I tested positive again for Covid," wrote the rock icon in his announcement.

Starr had been forced to cancel shows in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Lethbridge, Abbotsford, Penticton, Canada and the Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota, after first testing positive for COVID.

A spokesperson said in a statement on Oct. 3: "It has been confirmed today that Ringo has Covid and the tour will be on hold while Ringo recuperates. Ringo hopes to resume as soon as possible and is recovering at home. As always, he and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them back out on the road soon."

The spokesperson added to PEOPLE that Starr was "starting to feel better already."

After the break, Starr shared on Monday that he had recovered from the virus.

He added an Instagram post alongside a picture of him smiling while flashing a peace sign and wearing a necklace that declared him negative for COVID: "I will see you in Seattle on Tuesday the 11th Portland Wednesday I am negative peace and love everybody thanks for waiting."

The rock icon, who released his third EP, titled EP3 in September, has also shared that he is vaccinated against the virus. He told USA Today in March 2021: "I've got both jabs and I'm feeling groovy."

Music legend Ringo Starr pulled the plug on his tour after testing positive for COVID-19 for the second time in just two weeks.

The Beatles drummer, 82, delivered the bad news to fans on Twitter Thursday night, revealing the remaining dates of his North American tour with his All Starr band have been scrapped.

“I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I was I tested positive again for Covid the rest of the tour is off I send you peace and love Ringo,” Starr wrote alongside a selfie.

The shows affected by the news include a handful of California gigs starting Oct. 14 in San Jose, Paso Robles and Los Angeles as well as two dates in Mexico City on Oct. 19 and 20.

The announcement came just days after Starr tested negative for the virus and announced the tour was back on.

With an at-home COVID-19 testing kit around his neck, the musician wrote , “On the road again I will see you in Seattle on Tuesday the 11th Portland Wednesday I am negative peace and love everybody thanks for waiting. Ringo.”

Just one week before, Starr revealed he was battling the virus, which prompted him to cancel shows in Canada as he continued to recover.

He and the band pulled out of gigs at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Michigan, and Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota.

“Ringo hopes to resume as soon as possible and is recovering at home,” read a statement shared with fans at the time. “As always, he and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans, and hope to see them back out on the road soon.”

Starr released his latest solo album, “What’s My Name,” in 2019. Since its release, the musician put out three EPs.

Starr put out his latest solo album, ‘What’s My Name’, in 2019. He shared two EPs in 2021: ‘Zoom In’ and  ‘Change The World’ . NME  described ‘Zoom In’ as “the sort of upbeat, unrelenting jollity we expect from Ringo” in a three-star review upon its arrival.

Last month, Starr released a new EP titled ‘EP3’ , playing drums and singing on every track. It was recorded at the musician’s home studio, Roccabella West, and made with longtime collaborators Lukather, Linda Perry , Dave Koz, José Antonio Rodriguez and Bruce Sugar.

Speaking about the project, Starr said: “I am in my studio writing and recording every chance I get. “It’s what I have always done and will continue to do, and releasing EPs more frequently allows me to continue to be creative and give each song a little more love.”

Starr, along with late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins , Stewart Copeland of The Police , Stephen Perkins from Jane’s Addiction , Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘ Chad Smith and more, are set to feature in an upcoming documentary titled  Let There Be Drums!

Set to be released in cinemas on October 28, the film was directed by Justin Kreutzmann – son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann – and according to Deadline , “examines the essential role drumming plays in great bands and how music passes from generation to generation.” It is set to feature one of Hawkins’ final interviews before he died in March of this year .

As part of the promotion for the release of his upcoming EP Crooked Boy , Starr stopped by Amoeba Records in Hollywood on April 18 with Linda Perry . The four-song collection – "February Sky," "Adeline," "Gonna Need Someone," and "Crooked Boy" – was written and produced by the Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and in turn, she sent them to Starr for drumming and vocal contribution.

"Linda put the whole thing together," Starr explained when asked how the collaboration came together. "During the pandemic, I just decided to make EPs. I was determined to work with people I hadn't worked with before and Linda was one of them, a great songwriter." Perry in turn acknowledged Starr's influence early in her life. "I was brought up with this incredible music of the Beatles, watching Ringo and him always being my favorite, 'cause I thought he was the most charming and funniest one."

Perry also came up with the image for the album, a photo taken in February 1964 in Miami Beach by photographer Harry Benson. Benson had been traveling with the Beatles on that fateful trip to America and snapped Starr in his swim trunks during the band's trip there for the Ed Sullivan broadcast from the Deauville Hotel.

Starr did let slip during the Amoeba Records appearance that he's in the middle of making another record, "a 10-tracker," but quickly got back to the record at hand. In honor of Record Store Day the Crooked Boy EP will be available in a 2,000-only pressing on black and white marble vinyl.

Crooked Boy will be released digitally on April 26. Black vinyl and CD formats will be available May 31.

The Beatles' Ringo Starr bringing 'All Starr Band' to Mohegan Sun

Get ready to sing and dance around this fall because Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band can be found at the Mohegan Sun Arena come September.

The fall tour kicks off in Omaha, Neb., Sept. 12 before stopping at Mohegan Sun on Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale April 26 at 10 a.m.

Starr, also known as Sir Richard Starkey, was the second — and best known — drummer of the Beatles. Starr replaced Pete Best as the Beatles' drummer in 1962, before they'd achieved fame. According to the biography "Ringo Starr: A Life," fans were initially so upset by Best's firing that one gave guitarist George Harrsion a black eye and Beatles manager Brian Epstein had his tires flattened.

Starr found success as a solo artist following the Beatles' 1970 breakup, with a string of top-charting singles that decade including "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen."

Starr formed his All Starr Band in 1989 as a rock supergroup where "everybody on stage is a star in their own right," he said on a 2003 tour. For more than 30 years, some of the biggest pop and rock musicians along with legendary studio musicians have joined the All Starrs.

The band is in its 15th iteration featuring Starr on vocals, drums and piano, while studio drummer Greg Bissonette handles the lion's share of drums; session musician and Toto guitarist Steve Lukather; "Frankenstein" composer Edgar Winter on saxophone, keys and vocals; Hamish Stuart of the Average White Band on bass and guitar; Warren Ham, who has worked with Kansas and Toto on saxophone and percussion and Colin Hay from Men at Work on guitar and vocals.

Music lovers still put those records on as they celebrate Record Store Day: What to know

If you love vinyl, saturday, april 20 is your day, record store day. apparently, many americans do. u.s. music lovers spent $1.4 billion on vinyl in 2023, 10% more than the year before..

Vinyl rules on Saturday. That's because it is Record Store Day .

This marks the 17th annual celebration of independent record stores with a slew of special, exclusive releases – available first in stores and for purchase in person. (Eventually, some of the precious vinyl LPs will be available online; and some may later be released on CD or digitally.)

More than 380 special releases will be available on Saturday, including new releases and reissues from a variety of artists spanning Ernest Tubb to 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne . There's also releases from Elton John, Gorillaz, Kristin Hersh, Parliament, Pearl Jam, Sabrina Carpenter and The Who. To see the complete list go to the Record Store Day website .

Why are vinyl records a big deal on Record Store Day 2024?

There's a reason vinyl lovers are rewarded in the age of streaming music. Sales of vinyl records rose 10% in 2023 to $1.4 billion – the format's 17th consecutive year of growth, according to the Recording Industry Association of America .

And for only the second time since 1987, vinyl outsold CDs in units (43 million vinyl, compared to 37 million in CDs), the RIAA says. Sales of CDs did increase 11% to $537 million. Streaming still accounted 84% of U.S. recorded music revenue, the RIAA says.

Record Store Day 2024: What you need to celebrate superbly

No surprise, the top selling vinyl artist in the U.S. in 2023 was Taylor Swift, who had the top three sellers – "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was No. 1 – and five of the top seven, according to Luminate Data .

Swifties, there's no Record Store Day specials for you like last year, when Swift dropped "folklore: the long pond studio sessions."  But you did just get a extra helping of tunes with her "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," which landed early Friday.

However, some lucky buyers of her new album could also get a special printed note "From the Desk of Taylor Swift," in which the artist says: "Happy Record Store Day!! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for welcoming The Tortured Poets Department into your vinyl collection and your life."

Here's a quick look at some of the most desired Record Store Day releases.

David Bowie: Record Store Day 2024 release predates 'Ziggy'

A special vinyl RSD release, "Waiting in the Sky (Before the Starman Came to Earth)," is an 11-track recreation of an early version of what would eventually become Bowie's 1972 release "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars."
