Sir Ringo Starr canceled the rest of his North American tour after testing positive for COVID-19 for the second time in two weeks.
The 82-year-old former Beatles drummer said fans would surely be “as surprised as I am” as he revealed his latest coronavirus setback.
The dates scheduled for concerts in California and Mexico have been canceled.
Just three days ago, Sir Ringo said he was “on the road again” afterwards recovering from a previous encounter of COVID-19.
“I’m sure you’ll be surprised how much I tested positive for COVID again,” he wrote, sharing a photo of himself on Twitter.
“The rest of the tour is interrupted. I send you peace and love, Ringo.”
He and his band All Starr canceled a string of shows in Michigan, Minnesota, and Canada after falling ill for the first time.
Sir Ringo became famous as a quarter of The cockroaches.
He joined the Fab Four in 1962, shortly before they achieved success, replacing the original drummer Pete Best.
After the Beatles disbanded in 1970, Sir Ringo formed his All Starr Band in 1989.
In addition to the former Beatle, the band consists of Steve Lukather of Toto, Colin Hay of Men at Work, Hamish Stuart and Edgar Winter of Average White Band.
The entertainer was knighted for his services to music in 2018.
