Ringo Starr misses his Beatles 'brothers'

Ringo Starr has opened up on the feelings he has for his Beatles bandmates.

The drummer - alongside Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison - became global stars in the 60s.

McCartney is the only surviving member of the band alonside Starr.

Speaking to the Press Assocation, the drum man said: "I could keep the peace - if ever there was an explosion within The Beatles, usually we got back together in my house and that is how it was.

"We all had personality. We were four brothers. We all loved each other deeply but you get up one morning, you are in a bad mood and it just gets too big and things happen.

"I was in a band suddenly with three brothers. Yeah, I do miss the others - you can't not miss your brothers.

"We proved everybody wrong that music is more important than a name. We made some great music and I am really proud of it to this day."

Starr meanwhile will be inducted by McCartney into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 18.
