With a little help...

Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney

Beatles reunion...sort of.

Ringo Starr grabbed a little help from his friends for his new album Y Not which is due out early next year.

Starr has also found work on the album for his brother-in-law, who gets to play guitar on several tracks...mind you, his brother-in-law is Joe Walsh from the Eagles..so that's all right then.
