Ex-Beatles legend Ringo Starr will not be having a big bash to celebrate his 70th birthday as he will be on the road with his band.

The singer-songwriter will turn 70 on July 7, and friends say he won't be doing anything too crazy as he will be on the road with his group, The All Starr Band.

A source said: 'Ringo's decided to go on tour as he felt it was fitting he should be doing what he loves the most on the big day, which is performing.

'He's not holding a big lavish birthday party. It's not his style these days. For him, still being able to perform on stage for his fans after all these years is reward enough.
