Ringo Starr fell onstage. He is okay

Ringo Starr and his All Starrs were performing in Albuquerque, NM Wed. 9/20/23. Ringo fell as he came back onstage to sing in Give Peace a Chance. He got right back up and performed, seems okay: https://www.abqjournal.com/clickable/ringo-starr-fall/article_559e7c52-58b8-11ee-ae34-afe2c16da7f0.html#3

Hard to believe, but he's 83 years old. Born: July 7, 1940 - age 83 years.

All of these terrific performers who are living to elder years could just ride around on a parade float and get standing ovations. But, they get up on stage, sing dance, and inspire us with their ability and fitness! Better than most of us could do in our dreams
