“As everyone knows I love gathering with fans for peace and love on my birthday. But this year, I want everyone to be safe at home - so I called up a few friends and we put this Big Birthday Show together so we could still celebrate my birthday with you all, with some great music for some great charities. I hope you will all join me! Peace and Love, Ringo.”

Look for musical tributes from Ben Folds, Ben Dickey, Bettye LaVette, Colin Hay, Elvis Costello, Gregg Rolie, Judy Collins, Peter Frampton, Richard Marx, Steve Earle, Steve Lukather and many more.

Brilliant, so glad EC is involved in this. Ringo is about to be 80 - I mean what, how did that happen?! For just a small part of his influence listen to Pete's drum roll in the middle of Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head.

The "musical tributes" are mentioned again in the show's closing credits.And No Coffee Table wrote:Additionally there will be a playlist of unique tribute performances on Ringo's YouTube channel.

I thought this meant there would be another tribute from EC, separate from the "Give More Love" video, but so far he is not part of the playlist on Ringo's YouTube page.
