Editing Ringo Starr (section)

==Personal Life==

Starr was married to his childhood sweetheart '''Maureen Cox''' from 1965 to 1975; they had three children together: Zak, Jason, and Lee. '''Zak Starkey''' followed his father into drumming, becoming the longtime drummer for [[The Who]] and [[Oasis]], and is widely regarded as one of the finest drummers of his generation.

In 1981 Starr married actress '''Barbara Bach''', whom he met on the set of ''Caveman''. The marriage has endured, and the couple have spoken openly about their joint decision to get sober in the late 1980s, a turning point that Starr has credited with revitalizing both his personal life and his musical output.

He was appointed a '''Knight Bachelor''' in the 2018 New Year Honours for services to music, becoming Sir Richard Starkey. He has resided primarily in the Los Angeles area for much of his adult life, while maintaining a presence in the United Kingdom.
