Like former bandmate Paul McCartney, Starr is showing no interest in retirement. The Liverpool native calls Los Angeles home these days, but he adopted Nashville as his own while recording his country album there. Titled Look Up, it was released in January. But wherever he is, it's safe to say that Starr is thrilled to continue his journey as a musician.
