Last but not least: bad publicity for Liverpool

«I Don't Want to Spoil the Party» is the title of a 1964 song by the Beatles. But former Beatle Ringo Starr seems to have spoiled the party quite a bit. In any case, he isn't particularly helpful when it comes to promoting his hometown of Liverpool as the new European Capital of Culture.

 "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is a song by the Beatles from 1964, but ex-Beatle Ringo Starr has probably spoiled one party. In any case, he is not particularly helpful in promoting his native city of Liverpool as the new European Capital of Culture. He rarely comes to Liverpool anymore and doesn't really miss anything, Starr explained on British television. According to the former drummer of the cult band, who owns a property in the county of Surrey and an apartment in London's Chelsea district, he would definitely not move back there. As The Sun reported in its online edition, there was a wave of calls from angry viewers and complaints on the internet. "I want to know how much we paid him to show up," wrote one angry Liverpool resident. He should have remembered what the Beatles already knew in the 1960s: "Can't buy me love".
