Concerts scheduled for California and Mexico have been canceled.
Sir Ringo stated just three days ago that he was “back on the road” after recuperating from an earlier COVID-19 infection.
“I’m sure you’re as astonished as I was when I tested positive for COVID again,” he posted on Twitter beside a photo of himself.
“The remainder of the tour has been canceled. I wish you love and peace, Ringo.”
After he became ill for the first time, he and his All Starr band canceled a series of shows in Michigan, Minnesota, and Canada.
Sir Ringo became famous as a member of The Beatles.
In 1962, just before the group’s meteoric rise to fame, he replaced Pete Best as the Fab Four’s drummer.
Sir Ringo established a successful solo career after The Beatles disbanded in 1970, and in 1989 he launched his All Starr Band.
In addition to the former Beatle, the band comprises Steve Lukather of Toto, Colin Hay of Men at Work, Hamish Stuart of Average White Band, and Edgar Winter.
In 2018, the performer was knighted for his contributions to music.
