Ringo Starr has postponed the remainder of his North American summer tour with the All-Starr Band, after two of its members – keyboardist Edgar Winter and guitarist Steve Lukather – tested positive for COVID-19.“We are so sorry to let the fans down,” the former Beatle said in a statement shared to his website on Saturday (June 11), hours before the tour was set to reach the Pennsylvanian city of Easton. “It’s been wonderful to be back out on the road and we have been having such a great time playing for you all.
But as we all know, [COVID-19] is still here and despite being careful these things happen.”Following Saturday’s gig in Easton, the tour would have continued to Providence, Rhode Island yesterday (June 12), before rolling through Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania this week.
All of those shows – as well as subsequent dates in Virginia, Georgia and Florida – have now been pushed back into September.Exact dates are yet to be confirmed, however they’re all slated to occur before Starr’s previously announced autumn dates commence in late September.
