**Ringo Starr Makes Heartfelt Plea Ahead of 85th Birthday: “Peace and Love — That’s All I Ask”**
As he prepares to celebrate his 85th birthday on **July 7, 2025**, legendary Beatles drummer **Ringo Starr** has issued an emotional and heartfelt plea to fans around the world: *“All I ask is for everyone to spread peace and love — that’s the best gift you can give me.”*
Continuing a tradition he began in 2008, Ringo is once again inviting fans to join him in his annual **“Peace and Love” birthday moment**, where people across the globe are encouraged to pause at **12:00 noon local time** and simply say, think, or post the message: *“Peace and love.”*
“This isn’t just a catchphrase — it’s my life’s message,” Ringo said in a video message shared across social media. “We’re living in a world that desperately needs kindness, unity, and understanding. Let’s make this a wave that travels around the world.”
A public celebration is scheduled to take place in **Los Angeles**, where Ringo now lives, and is expected to include appearances from close friends, fellow musicians, and longtime fans. Similar events will be held in cities including New York, Tokyo, London, and Buenos Aires, with fans of all ages planning their own tributes and gatherings.
Even at 85, Ringo remains active — recently touring with his All-Starr Band and working on new music. Yet it’s his message of universal harmony that continues to define his legacy as much as his drumming with The Beatles.
“This is about something bigger than music,” Ringo said. “It’s about choosing peace in our hearts and sharing love with the world.”
As July 7 approaches, millions are once again preparing to answer Ringo’s call — proving that even decades after The Beatles, his voice still unites us.
