\"[I]t was a big celebration and a lot of other people who'd been in the All Starrs over the 30 years came and joined us onstage,\" he explained. \"So it's really a cool end to the show.\"

\"Ringo's Big Birthday Show's\" lineup also includes Sheryl Crow, Sheila E, Gary Clark Jr. and Ben Harper. The event will benefit four charities: Black Lives Matter Global Network, the David Lynch Foundation, MusiCares and WaterAid.

Starr also admitted during the press conference that he was disappointed that he can't celebrate his milestone birthday as originally planned and that his 2020 tour with the All Starr Band was canceled.
