Ringo had appendicitis at age six, and after the appendectomy developed peritonitis which put him in a coma for some days and caused him to be in the hospital recovering for a year. Several years later he contracted tuberculosis and went back to the hospital for another two years.

Ringo is a boy's name of Japanese origin. Meaning "apple," this name is synonymous with Ringo Starr from The Beatles. If the world of rock and roll inspires you, a name like Ringo is an excellent choice for your little star.

Paul McCartney is the richest Beatle by far with an estimated net worth of a whopping $1.2 billion.

The former Beatle is the father of three adult kids — Zak, 58, Jason, 56, and Lee, 53 — whom he welcomed with his late ex-wife Maureen Cox. The two were together from 1962 to 1975, but separated following Starr's affair with American model Nancy Lee Adams and Cox's affair with George Harrison.
