Ringo Starr has said that The Beatles were "lucky" to recruit him - because he was more famous than the band before he joined them.
The sticksman, who replaced original drummer Pete Best two years after the Fab Four got together to form a band in 1960, claimed he was already a star in his former band Rory And The Hurricanes before he joined Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison.
"Within Liverpool I was a lot more well known than them," he told the Daily Mail's Live Magazine. Rory And The Hurricanes were big shots in the city. We had suits. That was our claim to fame. They were lucky to get me. It wasn’t just that I was a big shot, I was a cool drummer."
