Items belonging to he and wife Barbara Bach – as well as personal articles of Ms. Bach’s – will also be up for bids.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Ringo said –

“We have so much stuff, and a lot of it we haven’t seen in 20 to 30 years. It started with me looking at storage units we have all around the world it seems (and) we found we had so much stuff. We thought, ‘What are we going to do with all this stuff?’”

Thus, Starr approached Julien’s.
