Paul Joins Ringo On-stage for his 70th Birthday

Today is Ringo's 70th birthday, and they threw quite the party for him last night at Radio City Music Hall. Throughout the night, everyone from Yoko Ono, Joe Walsh, Steve Van Zant, Jeff Lynne, Nils Lofgren, Max Weinberg, Gary Brooker, Peter Asher, Dave Stewart, and Ringo’s son Zak joined him on stage. However, my favorite part would have to be when Paul closed out the night with Ringo playing the Beatles' "Birthday." Check out the video below, and click HERE to read more Ringo bday details.

Happy Birthday Ringo!
