BOSTON (AP) — Ringo Starr finally made it to Boston to receive his honorary degree from the Berklee College of Music.
The school originally announced that the Beatles drummer would receive a doctor of music degree at commencement ceremonies in May, but Starr was unable to attend then and instead addressed the graduating class in a recorded statement.
But with Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band in town for a show scheduled for Thursday night, the school held a special ceremony to honor is lifelong contributions to the music scene that featured performances of Starr’s hit songs, arranged and performed by Berklee students.
