In a heartfelt surprise that left fans in awe, Ringo Starr has donated a priceless collection of rare Beatles memorabilia to his hometown of Liverpool. The items, never before seen by the public, include handwritten setlists from the band’s early Cavern Club days, drumsticks Ringo used during their first U.S. tour in 1964, and a personal letter of thanks from Brian Epstein, the group’s legendary manager.
The donation was made quietly, with Ringo insisting it wasn’t for publicity but rather a gift to the city that gave birth to The Beatles. “Liverpool is where it all began,” he said in a short statement. “These pieces belong here, with the people who shared our journey from the start.”
Local officials confirmed the collection will be displayed at The Beatles Story museum, allowing fans from around the world to connect with the band’s legacy in a more personal way. Experts have already called the items “one of the most significant Beatles discoveries in decades,” with some valuing the collection in the millions.
Fans in Liverpool reacted emotionally to the news. “Ringo has always been the most humble Beatle,” one lifelong fan said. “This proves he never forgot his roots.”
With this generous gesture, Ringo Starr has once again shown that while The Beatles changed the world, they never truly left Liverpool.
