Ex-Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and his wife joined a gathering of several hundred Beatles fans to celebrate the unveiling of Ringo\'s individual star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Monday night.\"I want to thank Capitol Records. It’s nice to look at a building that you helped pay for.\"
The ceremony began as a column of local high school marching band drummers in red uniforms poured out the tower lobby pounding a festive beat.
The Beatles were awarded a star on the walk in 1998. Starr is the third Beatle to be honored as a solo artist, following stars given posthumously to John Lennon and George Harrison.
