Ringo Starr Champions Enduring Beatles Legacy While Debuting Las Vegas Art Show
At eighty-five, the drummer affirms “billions of streams” for The Beatles and unveils original paintings in a new exhibition
Ringo Starr, still radiating youthful enthusiasm, recently reflected that The Beatles continue to resonate globally, citing “billions of streams a year” as proof of their undiminished appeal.
Alongside that affirmation, he has opened his first art exhibition in Las Vegas, merging his musical and visual creativity under one roof.
Speaking from his Los Angeles home, Starr recounted how, despite his age, he “never stopped being twenty-four” — a playful nod to his mindset since the band’s meteoric rise.
He described how new audiences continue discovering Beatles music: “Every generation, if they're into music, listens to us.
And you know, we’re still selling records”.
The art exhibition, dubbed STARR ART, is hosted at the Animazing Gallery within The Venetian Resort’s Grand Canal Shoppes in Las Vegas.
Running from 5 September through 15 October 2025, it marks his first show since 2019 and the first time he exhibits original paintings alongside limited editions and signed works.
The residency coincides with a series of performances by his All Starr Band at the same venue.
Starr’s stylistic approach leans into pop art and experimental “spin art,” embracing spontaneous color patterns and playful designs.
He allows his process to guide him: “I just go to the canvas and start.
before you realise, you've been there two hours”.
The gallery walls showcase star motifs, psychedelic faces, Beatles imagery, and vivid, spirited compositions.
Every penny of his proceeds will benefit the Lotus Foundation, his lifelong charity dedicated to social welfare initiatives.
To engage serious collectors, the gallery will host a private reception with Starr for those who purchase works in advance.
He has long signed art pieces—declining traditional autograph requests—but now this platform brings his visual creativity into full view.
In conversation, Starr contrasted his early days—conspiring casually to cross Abbey Road—with his current momentum: producing art, touring, and witnessing fresh audiences embrace his legacy.
He sees no decline: “We’re on the road, we’re making records”.
The blend of his musical vigor and art debut underscores that for Starr, the creative spirit remains undimmed.
