Ringo Starr has been absent from the McCartney events recently, and has been represented by his wife and his brother-in-law. During his speech at the Walk of Fame ceremony, Paul excused his friend, saying he has felt a bit “under the weather”. Let’s hope Ringo is well enough to be a presenter during the Grammy Gala… If he is, all four Beatles will be represented there, as Paul will be performing and Yoko Ono is likely to be in the audience. The Harrison family will be represented by George’s older sister Louise.
