Ringo Starr's latest project is for fans of music and of fashion.

"Featuring nearly 300 shimmering images capturing iconic and many never-before-seen intimate moments of Ringo’s illustrious life and career, along with the drum icon’s warm memories told in his own words, this immense tribute to the enduring influence and time transcending impact of the Fab Four member is a ticket to ride through fashion and Beatles history," the publisher announced.
Beats & Threads has a list price of US$80 (RM375), along with signed limited editions for as much as US$750 (RM3,513). All proceeds will be donated to the Lotus Foundation, which offers support for various charitable projects, from substance abuse to homelessness.
Starr, 83, has had a busy 2023, releasing the EP Rewind Forward, touring with his All-Starr Band and working with Paul McCartney on the "final” Beatles song, Now and Then. - AP
