Ringo said: “Today is my birthday, and as everyone knows, I was born in Liverpool. It is my hometown and I’ll always love it. “I’ve been thinking back on my life a lot lately - and when I chose to become a drummer full time - my family discouraged me. And they could have been right! But they weren’t - it all worked out. So to all the graduates back in Liverpool - I send Peace & Love and want to say don’t be afraid to follow your dreams - or take that right turn and see where it goes…it could lead to a Honorary Doctorate from the University of Liverpool!” #PeaceAndLove ✌️ 🔗 Read the full story at the link in our bio.
