National Enquirer

September 12 2016

Ex-Beatle Trying to dry out before fall tour.

ALCOHOLIC ex-Beatle Ringo Starr has checked into rehab! The drummer, 76, has been in a residential program for weeks, The National ENQUIRER has learned.

Ringo is expected to check out ahead of his fall tour dates with his All-Starr Band — which has stops in the U.S.

“Ringo wanted to go into rehab for a ‘tune-up,’ ” an insider spilled to the ENQUIRER. “As a longrecovering alcoholic, he’s constantly worried about falling off the wagon. That’s his biggest fear.

“The temptations to drink and do drugs again are all around him, especially when he’s on the road. He wanted to make sure that didn’t happen!”

Spywitnesses spotted Ringo and a sober coach outside an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Aug. 23 — a far cry from his boozy days after the 1970 breakup of the Fab Four.
