Ringo Starr, músico reconocido por ser el ex-baterista de la famosa banda musical The Beatles, admitió que el camino de su vida se perdió durante su juventud.
El “Telegraph” publicó que Ringo Starr se desvió del camino primeramente al ser integrante de la banda y finalmente se desmoronó cuando la banda se desintegró. Este músico admite haber llegado a consumir LSD, marihuana, pero fue la adicción al alcohol y a la cocaína lo que le hizo sufrir más en su vida y en todo lo que le rodeaba, sin embargo, confiesa que encontró sentido a su vida en Dios.
Actualmente, Ringo Starr sonríe y dice que Dios lo ayudó a encontrar el camino de regreso, que Dios es su vida, que es una de las situaciones más importantes que ha podido experimentar. En otra entrevista con el diario ‘Los Angeles Times’, Star, hace mención que renunció a fumar los 60 cigarrillos que consumía a diario y al alcohol.
Starr ha hecho mención que cada año que transcurre le enseña a manejar mejor su vida, búsqueda que comenzó desde los años 60, reconoce firmemente que ha sido Dios el que ha hecho el milagro de cambiar su vida, ahora puede vivir con más vida.
"Siento que entre mas años tengo, a su vez he aprendido a manejar mejor la vida...Creo que las cuestiones espirituales son mas prominentes...no me escondo de eso" R. Starr a The Los Angeles Times durante una reciente visita al Museo del Grammy en el centro de Los Ángeles.
Articulo original (English)
Former Beatles member Ringo Starr says he’s been on a search for God for the past five decades – though there were many years when he “stepped off the path.”
And now, at the age of 69, he says God is in his life.
"I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life," Starr told The Los Angeles Times during a recent visit to the Grammy Museum in downtown LA.
"I think [spiritual issues] are more prominent," added Starr, who turns 70 in July and recently released a new album, titled Y Not.
And some of the conclusions he’s drawn so far from having been on the “quest for a long time” are that “it’s all about finding yourself” and that “God is in my life.”
“I don't hide from that,” he said regarding his latter realization.

Notably, however, while working on his new album, one song that Starr originally intended to be a "gospelly" song, “Walk With You,” eventually became a song about the power of friendship rather than a “God song” after songwriter Van Dyke Parks reportedly said he didn’t write about God.
Other tracks on Starr’s new album include "Fill in the Blanks," "The Other Side of Liverpool," "Time," "Everyone Wins," "Mystery of the Night," "Can't Do It Wrong," "Y Not," and "Who's Your Daddy."
Also on the album is the song "Peace Dream" – Starr’s version of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Unlike “Imagine,” however, the world of peace Starr envisions in “Peace Dream” doesn’t require “no religion,” as Lennon’s world did.
