SiriusXM Town Hall With Ringo Starr Contest

Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo Starr has been one of the world's brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active musical collaborator, and as an actor. His warmth and humor, and his exceptional musicianship, have given us songs we all know and love, including "With A Little Help From My Friends," "Octopus' Garden," "Photograph," "It Don't Come Easy" and many more. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock 'n' roll, Ringo continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring.

Now, to celebrate the release of his new album, Ringo 2012, SiriusXM wants to give YOU the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak live and in person with Ringo Starr! You’ll have the chance to ask him a question at this exclusive “Town Hall” event for SiriusXM subscribers on January 30, 2012 in Los Angeles.
