Yesterday was Ringo Starr’s 80th birthday, and he celebrated with an hour-long charity livestream raising money for Water Aid, Black Lives Matter, MusiCares and the David Lynch Foundation.

It featured brand new isolation performances from Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow and Dave Grohl with Ben Harper, as well as a number of recent pre-lockdown live clips, including Ringo playing Helter Skelter with Paul McCartney.
