Ringo-ing, going, gone!

Apparently Ringo Starr walked off the set of Regis and Kelly due to a dispute over the length of a song he was to perform on the show. Ringo wanted to do the 3 minute version while show producer Gelman insisted on a 2 minute version. This resulted in the best of all solutions… the […]
