During an interview with AARP The Magazine, the musician said: “We all went crazy at different times. You can’t imagine what it was like to be with the Beatles. It got bigger and crazier.”

“We played in clubs and then made the record ‘Love Me Do.’ My God, there’s nothing bigger than this, our first record. We found out the BBC was going to be playing at 2:17 or whatever it was and we drove past. I’m on the radio, man!’”
Starr joined the band as a fan after seeing them at a nightclub in Germany with Pete Best on drums. With Starr on board, a legendary partnership was formed between him and the band’s other members, McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison.

When reflecting on the band’s dynamic, Starr joked that he “used to be a rock drummer” before his bandmates “ruined his whole career” by continuing to write songs for him. During his time with The Beatles, Starr sang lead on “Yellow Submarine”, “Act, Naturally”, “With a Little Help from My Friends” and “Octopus’s Garden”.
Lennon was shot dead by a crazed fan on December 8, 1980. Harrison died of cancer in 2001. Starr said that while the four of them were as close as siblings in the early days, he and Paul have a close bond that continues.
“Paul loves me as much as I love him,” he said. “He’s the brother I never had. As an only child, I suddenly had three brothers.”
