LONDON: Ex-Beatle Ringo Starr will no longer sign autographs or read fan mail.

Starr, 68, announced in an online video message a deadline for sending him mail. Fan mail sent after the deadline will be “tossed”.

“This is a serious message to everybody watching my update right now. Peace and love, peace and love,” the former Beatle drummer said in the video.

“I want to tell you please - after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that has the date on the envelope it's going to be tossed.

“I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail, thank you, thank you, and no objects to be signed. Nothing.”

The musician released a new album titled “Liverpool 8” in January this year, a tribute to his hometown.

Liverpudlians were offended when he said on national television days after he promoted the album in Liverpool that he missed “nothing” about the city, and made a face when asked whether he would move back to his hometown.

A shrub sculpture of Starr outside Liverpool South Parkway train station was beheaded by vandals, and the head was never found.
