Ringo Starr was on hand at Boston’s Berklee College of Music on Thursday (June 2nd) to accept an honorary doctorate from the prestigious institution. Marca.com reported the students played a selection of Ringo’s hits during the ceremony, before opening remarks by All Starr Band drummer Gregg Bissonette and Berklee President Erica Muhl.
Ringo spoke about being ill as a child in the hospital, when a drum was brought in for him to play while convalescing. He explained, “I just wanted to be a drummer from that moment on. It was my big dream and it’s still unfolding. I get to play with great guys, like the band here. It’s just a great life I lead.”
