According to Contact Music, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is currently collaborating with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart to write a musical. Starr told Mojo magazine: 'Me and Dave wrote a musical, a complete thing - characters, story, a lot of songs. We wrote it for Broadway, but it will more likely end up (as) a movie... and I'm not telling you anything else. It's about other people.'

Starr became The Beatles' drummer in August 1962, taking the place of Pete Best. In addition to his contribution as drummer, Starr featured as lead vocals on a number of successful Beatles songs (in particular, "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", and The Beatles version of "Act Naturally"), as co-writer with the song "What Goes On" and writer with "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden".
