Ringo Walks Off Live; Still Loves Regis

Ringo Starr Regis Philbin

It seems to be a hot week for musicians and morning talk shows. Ringo Starr broke from his “amiable Beatle” reputation earlier today when he walked off the set of Live With Regis and Kelly rather than cut short one of his songs. Due to miscommunication between his publicist and the show’s musical director, Starr didn’t realize his performance, which was an estimated 4 minutes and 15 seconds in length, had to be an anemic 2 1/2 minutes or less. Refusing to make the changes, Ringo left saying, “God bless and goodbye. We still love Regis.” Has there ever been a more true statement?
