Oldest Member Of Beatles

Answer 3

Ringo Starr born on England, on July 7, 1940 as Richard Starkey was the oldest in age to be a member of the Beatles, and the last to join the group, technically making him both the oldest and youngest "Beatle".

He had divorced parents and he suufered from diferent health afflictions at his early years - was in coma after ruptured appendix surgery, concussion, and pleural pleurisy and ha had stayed much time in hospital with his condition made him left behind with his studies.

His first job was as a delivery boy for British Rail. His second was a barman on a ferry to New Brighton, and his next was as a trainee joiner at Henry Hunt & Sons. He traveled from band to band, but he eventually landed a spot with "Rory Storm & The Hurricanes", a popular band at the time, and Storm encouraged Richard to enhance his career by legally changing his name to Ringo Starr.The Hurricanes became popular in England and topped the bill at one of Liverpool's clubs, where The Beatles also featured.

He joined the Beatles replacing drummer Pete Best. He also became a professional actor.After the breakup of The Beatles, Ringo sustained a very popular solo career, turning out 13 hit songs and eight best-selling albums. He also appeared in various TV shows, including his own special, Ringo (1978) (TV), and a TV mini-series, Princess Daisy (1983) (TV), with his wife Barbara.

He stayed out of the limelight for years after that, however, and in 1984 he did narration for the children's series "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends" (1984). He conquered a drinking problems--his wife attended the rehabilitation clinic with him--and came back to the scene sober to do the All-Starr Band tour of America and Japan. The tour was so popular that he formed another All-Starr Band in 1992, and began an American and European tour in June of that year. While he continues to do the All-Starr Band, along with George Harrison and Paul McCartney he did a Beatles' anthology to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the breakup of the band.

The Beatles (1960-1970), often nicknamed the Fab Four, were an English musical group from Liverpool, and are usually regarded as the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful popular music artists in history.♥

Answer 9

in order of age:

Richard Starkey, MBE (born July 7, 1940 in Liverpool, England), known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English popular musician, singer, and actor, best known as the drummer for The Beatles. Starr is known for his reliable, innovative drumming and unique fills. He was the oldest and shortest member of the band, and the last one to join the now familiar "Fab Four" line-up.

Starr married Maureen Cox in 1965, and they had three children, Zak, Jason, and Lee. The couple divorced in 1975. In 1980, on the set of the film Caveman he met actress Barbara Bach. They were married in 1981, just a few weeks after the film's release. Barbara Bach is most famous for her role as Major Anya Amasova (female lead and main 'Bond Girl') in The Spy Who Loved Me.

John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980), born John Winston Lennon, was an iconic English 20th century rock and roll songwriter and singer, best known as the founding member of The Beatles. He and fellow-Beatle Paul McCartney formed the massively successful Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership throughout the 1960s, writing songs for The Beatles and other artists to record.

Lennon's songwriting was often full of pain and hope. His melodies were at times beautiful and at times dark. His lyrics reflected his personal and career demands, philosophical outlook, his unease with his fame, and current events. As a writing pair, Lennon's hard-edged and McCartney's optimistic styles complemented one another. The Beatles, largely under Lennon and McCartney's influence and with their record producer George Martin, revolutionised rock music with their lyrics, instrumentation, harmony, and electronic effects, changing the nature of popular music at the time and paving the way for the music of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. In his solo career distinct from The Beatles, Lennon wrote and recorded songs that became icons of the age, such as "Imagine" and "Give Peace a Chance". John Lennon was murdered in New York City on December 8, 1980 by a deranged fan, as he and Ono returned home from a recording session; he was, and continues to be, mourned throughout the world.


Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE, was born on June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. He is a Grammy Award-winner for his work as a songwriter, and plays bass guitar, piano, guitar and drums. McCartney was a member of the The Beatles, "the greatest and most influential act of the rock era", and Wings, is a solo artist, and has taken part in many other musical projects. McCartney is the most successful popular-music composer and recording artist ever, with sales of 100 million singles, and 60 gold discs.

In The Beatles, McCartney was one-half of the songwriting team credited as Lennon-McCartney, along with fellow band member John Lennon. Beatles songs attributed solely to McCartney include "Can't Buy Me Love", "Hello Goodbye", "Hey Jude", "Let It Be", and "The Long and Winding Road." McCartney's song "Yesterday" is listed as the most covered song in history with more than 2,000 versions recorded. and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American TV and radio.

George Harrison, MBE (February 24, 1943 – November 29, 2001) was a popular English guitarist, singer, songwriter, record producer, and film producer, best known as a member of The Beatles.

Harrison was the lead guitarist of The Beatles. During the band’s phenomenally successful career, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were its main songwriters. However, Harrison wrote and/or sang lead on one or two songs each album. His songs earned him growing admiration as a considerable talent in his own right.

Harrison died on November 29, 2001. He was 58 years old. Harrison's death was ascribed to lung cancer that had metastasised to the brain. He was cremated and although it was widely reported that his ashes were scattered in the Ganges River, the ceremony was not conducted at the expected time.
