Ringo Starr reveals he voted for Brexit: ‘I didn’t see the European Union going anywhere’

Ringo Starr has spoken out about his decision to vote for Brexit in the EU Referendum.

The Beatles drummer has said that he didn’t see the European Union ‘going anywhere’ and believes that Britain is better ‘out’.

In a new interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the 76-year-old also said that he felt that America was “his town.”

He said: “I voted for Brexit, because I thought the European Union was a great idea, but I didn’t see it going anywhere lately.

“It’s in shambles, and we’re all stuck with people who want to make arrangements for their own country and don’t think for the other countries.

“Britain should be out and get back on its own feet.”

He added: “And now Scotland wants to leave and Wales wants to leave. Then it will be Devon. God knows where it will end.”

When asked where he had the biggest fan base outside the US and UK, he simply responded: “The US is my town. America is my town.”

Talking about the Beatles’ decision to make their back catalogue available on streaming services, Starr said:

“We’re just moving with the times. When we started with vinyl, and then CDs came out, that was good for us financially, because it wasn’t in the contract. We had to go to CDs in the end.

“We were pretty late there. We were late to iTunes, too, but went there so you could buy the tracks. Streaming is huge now, so we’re moving on.

He added: “Who knows what’s going to be next? What’s Kanye West going to think of?”
