Ringo Starr Casually Announces A New Album
Ringo Starr confirms he's recording a new album with T Bone Burnett, following the Americana-leaning ... More Look Up, which arrived earlier in 2025. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - JULY 07: Ringo Starr attends Ringo's Peace & Love Birthday Celebration at Beverly Hills Garden Park on July 07, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo byfor ABA) Ringo Starr's energy shows no sign of waning, even though the celebrated musician recently turned 85. After more than six decades in the spotlight, the legendary drummer is not only still touring, he's expanding his musical horizons in ways few could have expected, and continuing to produce more new music. Just months after releasing Look Up, his first full-length in more than half a decade, Starr recently shared some good news via an announcement that confirms that more new work is on the way. A Follow-Up to Look Up In a video Starr shared recently on YouTube, the former Beatle revealed that he is already working on a new album, and the project sees him reuniting with the producer who helped him produce his latest genre-shifting effort. 'I'm in the studio here now doing another album with T Bone [Burnett]. Thank you, Lord. Woo. Yeah,' he said in the clip. He jokingly referred to the album's working title as Look Up Two, but then added with a smile, 'I don't think it'll be called that.' Few Details Are Available For the moment, details about Starr's upcoming album are scarce, but that's likely only because it's still early days when it comes to putting the project together. The set, which doesn't have a real title or release date yet, will be Starr's twenty-second as a soloist. Look Up Was Something Different The upcoming effort will follow Look Up, his country-leaning full-length released in January 2025, which marked his first studio album in nearly six years. That project was a stylistic pivot for Starr, as it leaned into Americana and roots sounds. Fans embraced the sonic move, and Look Up was a relative commercial success in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Touring Picks Up Again in September While Starr is focused on recording for now, he'll soon be back on the road. The second leg of his U.S. tour is set to kick off on September 10 in Chicago. The next piece of the run will wrap with a six-night Las Vegas residency at the Venetian Theatre, which opens on September 17 and runs through September 27. Ringo Starr's Creative Push This upcoming collection will seemingly build on the momentum of Look Up, which earned praise for everything from the production to Starr's decision to try something new and focus on a style that's growing in popularity. The album featured guest contributions from Billy Strings, Lucius, Molly Tuttle, and Alison Krauss, who all rank among the most celebrated names in Americana at the moment.

Frankenstein without pants: This may be the show you didn't know you needed
In Classic Penguins, Garry Starr – the alter-ego of clown and actor Damien Warren-Smith – is trying to save the world of literature. All without wearing pants. Starr believes penguins wrote Classic Penguins, so naturally he dresses for the part, wearing just an Elizabethan ruffle, top hat, jacket and flippers. In the show, which won top prize at this year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Starr acts out the titles of classics including Frankenstein, The Wind in The Willows and Gulliver's Travels. Part of the fun of the show is guessing which book the oblivious but enthusiastic Starr is recreating. There are silly puns, physical comedy, plenty of audience interaction – he selects someone to pelt him with grapes in homage to a certain John Steinbeck classic – and even crowd-surfing. Warren-Smith, 43, only includes willing audience members in his show but says the best participants are those 'who are a little bit hesitant'. 'If they're too confident, the audience questions if they're a plant. But when someone is a little bit uncomfortable to get up there, I honestly believe that everyone comes out succeeding. A lot of people have said to me, 'I was terrified of audience participation. But I'm not after seeing that; it felt so safe'. 'The volunteers are not the butt of the joke; it's always me who ends up looking ridiculous. 'In a world outside [of a clown show], no absolutely means no. In a theatre, no doesn't always mean no because the person who first goes 'no' is probably going to get the most out of it, and the audience is going to love them more than anyone else.'
