The casino stated in a tweet, “Ringo is sick and was hoping to be able to perform, hence the late notice. But it has affected his voice. Ringo does not have COVID-19.”

Starr tours with his “All-Starr Band,” a rotating cast of top musicians. The 2022 lineup includes Toto’s Steve Lukather, Men at Work’s Colin Hay, Edgar Winter, the Average White Band’s Hamish Stewart, drummer Gregg Bissonette, and Kansas’s Warren Ham.
