Ringo Starr Tour Sidelined As Edgar Winter and Steve Lukather Catch Covid

Ringo Starr has been forced to postpone his current Ringo Starr and the All-Starr Band tour after band members Steve Lukather and Edgar Winter caught Covid.

The tour started on 27 May. The 12 remaining dates have been postponed until September.

Ringo was two nights into three sold-out shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre when Winter caught Covid and at that point the band planned to continue without him. But when Lukather went down, so did a chunk of the setlist.

The All-Starr Band 2022 is Steve Lukather (Toto), Colin Hay (Men At Work), Warren Ham (Kansas, Toto), Gregg Bissonette, Hamish Stuart (Average White Band ) and Edgar Winter (Edgar Winter Group).

But as we all know, Covid is still here and despite being careful these things happen.
