description: Considered by many as lucky to have been in The Beatles, Ringo Starr epitomises the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. World-famous pop star, acclaimed film actor, the voice of an internationally successful children's TV series and husband to a glamorous movie star - at face value he seems to have led a charmed life. Yet behind the sunglasses and the ready quips loom the horrors of his health problems, alcoholism and deprived family background.Fully updated to include The Beatles' Anthology, 2000's best-selling 1 album, plus Ringo's latest sell-out world tour, Ringo Starr remains the definitive biography of the man who anchored the Merseybeat.
