Let’s talk about Ringo Starr, the legendary Beatle who's turning 85 this summer. Fans are absolutely blown away by how youthful he looks, and it’s no surprise—his lifestyle has been a blueprint for health and vitality. According to an exclusive source, Ringo attributes his youthful looks to a strict, ultra-healthy lifestyle he’s been following for most of his adult life.
Gratitude and a Positive Outlook: Ringo's Daily Practices
Here’s the thing about Ringo—he’s not just coasting on his fame. He genuinely loves his life and wakes up every morning with gratitude. “Ringo feels like the luckiest guy in the world,” says an insider. “He swears his positive outlook and daily gratitude practice help keep him young.

A Journey to Sobriety: Ringo's Turning Point
It wasn’t always this way for Ringo. Before he embraced sobriety in 1988, the road was rocky. The source reveals that Ringo lost entire years of his life to blackouts, a period he described as progressively worse. “It got so bad that I didn’t know where I’d been or what I’d done,” Ringo once admitted. He knew he had a problem for years, but alcohol played tricks on his mind. “Alcohol is cunning and baffling,” he explained. That realization became his turning point.

From Rock Bottom to Rock Star: The All-Star Band
After leaving a treatment facility, Ringo put together his All-Star Band, a move he says he couldn’t have made if he were still in the grips of addiction. “There’s an absolute connection between sobriety and creativity,” he stated. “When I got sober, I had all this time and more energy. It was like a rebirth, and it opened doors I never thought possible.”
Ringo now indulges in practices that keep him fit and healthy in both body and mind—yoga, meditation, clean living, and good eating. His vegetarian diet has been a cornerstone of his health regimen for decades.
Ringo's Partnership with Barbara Bach: A Healthy Lifestyle Duo
Ringo credits his wife, Barbara Bach, with contributing to his longevity. “Having his beautiful Bond Girl wife Barbara by his side is another thing he credits with his vitality,” the source adds. Barbara shares Ringo’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Together, they enjoy daily walks, workouts in their home gym, and cooking vegetarian meals filled with veggies. Starting their mornings with green smoothies packed with blueberries has been a part of their routine for decades. It’s no wonder they both look younger than their years.
Ringo married Barbara in 1981, during a time when he was still battling addiction. Yet, she stood by him through thick and thin. Now, they live happily in Liverpool, close to where Ringo grew up, embracing a life of health and love.
Ringo's Upcoming Projects: Keeping the Rock'n'Roll Spirit Alive
Ringo, whose birth name is Richard Starkey, isn’t slowing down anytime soon. He’s planning a spring tour with his supergroup featuring Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, Gregg Bissonette, and Buck Johnson. Recently, he made a move into country music, releasing "Look Up" on January 10, and he's already planning his first live dates in June.
The insider notes that performing keeps Ringo young. “It’s his passion and still gives him a huge thrill after all these years,” they say. “He might be in his mid-80s, but he still keeps rock’n’roll hours and never gets to bed before midnight. It’s his way of staying connected to the music and the life he loves.”
