Ringo Starr, the legendary Beatles drummer, has shared his unconventional approach to maintaining vitality as he approaches his 86th birthday in July. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Starr attributed his enduring energy to a simple mantra: "Peace and love and broccoli."
When questioned about his secret to staying active in music—he's set to release his 22nd solo album, 'Long Long Road,' on April 24—Starr quipped, "Well, you've got to eat more broccoli. All the good things about me, I blame broccoli for." This playful remark builds on his well-known catchphrase, "peace and love," adding a healthy twist.
Starr's dietary habits have sparked curiosity before. Last year, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he confirmed rumors that he has never eaten pizza or curry, citing severe allergies to multiple ingredients. "You don't know what the fuck's in it," he explained, noting that such foods make him ill immediately, which keeps him strictly disciplined.
Despite his selective diet, Starr continues to tour and record, collaborating with artists like St. Vincent, Sheryl Crow, and Billy Strings on his upcoming album. His lighthearted take on aging—blending wellness with his signature positivity—highlights a unique perspective on longevity in the music industry.
