Called the 12th all Starr Band, the lineup has toured with the famous Beatles drummer since 2012.

“I love playing with this band,” Starr said.  “And I can’t wait to get back out and play with them again.”

It’s a great time for Starr to announce his All Starr run for 2014.  He appeared with his old bandmate Paul McCartney on the Grammy Awards and joined him onstage the next night at a tribute to The Beatles that will air on Feb. 9 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four’s first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

Earlier this month Starr was honored with the “Lifetime Of Peace & Love Award” given to him by the David Lynch Foundation.
