Ringo Starr has said there is no rivalry between himself and his former Beatles bandmate Sir Paul McCartney despite the pair releasing solo albums within a week of each other.
Paul McCartney’s new record ‘Kisses On The Bottom‘ is due for release on February 6th, while Ringo’s own ‘Ringo 2012‘ has been available since January 30th. “In all honesty, we had dinner just after Christmas together and I didn’t know he had one coming out,” Ringo told Spinner. “I didn’t know that it was going to come out within weeks of each other.”
“No, there’s no rivalry,” he continued. “Paul is Paul, Ringo is Ringo and this is what we do. We don’t phone each other and say, ‘You can’t you bring your record out because I’ve got one!’. We live our lives, we make our music and pick a release date. This was the date we picked and that’s just how it is.”
