First Member Of Ringo Starr’s 2003 All-Starr Band Set
Ringo Starr has sent out invitations to the musicians he’d like to take part in the 2003 edition of his All-Starr Band. The greatest-hits collective–which has in the past featured the likes of Cream’s Jack Bruce, Bad Company’s Simon Kirke, Procol Harum’s Gary Brooker, and Peter Frampton, among many others–will next summer feature Babys/Bad English frontman John Waite.
Fans will see Waite in an unusual position, however. “I’m gonna go and play bass guitar with Ringo in the summer for a couple of months.” “I used to be the bass player in the Babys, before I became the lead singer, so I’m looking forward to hanging with Ringo and playing those songs and being the fifth Beatle, you know? They made the call, and it looks like it’s a complete go.”
Waite didn’t know who else has accepted the offer. He expects his own Number One hit “Missing You” to be included in the tour’s setlist.
