Ringo Starr wants a very special 70th birthday this year – he wants the world to unite for world peace.
As a special show of solidarity, the former Beatle wants his fans all around the world to stop what they are doing and give the V-shaped peace sign at midday on July 7.
“We have big plans to do an all star tour this summer,” he said. “We’ll be in New York on July 7, which is my birthday and we’re going to celebrate. No matter what state you’re in, at noon wherever you are I’d like you to gesture peace and love.”
Starr will play the New York Radio City Music Hall later that night.

Aren’t humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and then call for "Peace on Earth."
