Ringo Starr was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, becoming the final Beatle to receive the accolade as a solo artist (He was inducted as a member of The Beatles in 1988.) In a pre-show interview with Rolling Stone, Yoko Ono spoke of the importance of Starr, going as far to declare him “the most influential Beatle.”
“No one is probably going to believe it,” Ono said, “but he was the most influential Beatle.” She continued, “For some reason John got it, then George got it, then Paul got it. So why didn’t they think about Ringo?”
Ono also discussed Starr’s popularity within the band, explaining “John [Lennon] would go up and down and all that, but Ringo was always just very gentle. And he really believed in peace and love.”
