“Happy 80th birthday Ringo. This is a shot from my upcoming book that will be out next year now. The reason I became a drummer was this man.
“Like many of us in the mid-’60s that saw The Beatles on TB when they first came to America. They appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Although I was a bit young their 4th appearance is what captured my attention with the song ‘I Feel Fine.’
“I then received a 45 record from my Brother Mark of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and I was never the same along with the rest of the world. Over 73 million tuned in to the Sullivan show that changed rock ‘n’ roll forever.
“I’m honored to call Ringo a friend as we’d usually be outside the Capitol building today sharing peace and love. You continue to be a huge inspiration in my life, Ringo.”
Under his social media post, many fans celebrated his new age.
