“Feeling the Sunlight” was written by Beatle Paul McCartney, who Starr says he “FaceTimes twice a month” and hangs out with whenever he is in London, or McCartney is in LA. It's that spirit that has kept him moving forward. He's currently embarked on a fall tour, which began September 17th in Ontario, California, and ends next month in Thackerville, Oklahoma. It's a feat for a veteran performer when so many bands are embarking on farewell tours.
“This is the last track, ever, that you’ll get the four Beatles on the track. John, Paul, George, and Ringo," he says.And if it’s the Beatles you’re hungry for, there’s always their immense discography to dive into.
