Starr Not Interested in Band Tour

    "I'm not interested in touring with a live band ever again," said Ringo Starr during lunch in his Chicago hotel room. Starr and his fiancĂ©e, actress Barbara Bach, were to have lunch in the Pump Room, but their security advisor suggested they remain in their hotel during their three-day stay to promote their new film, Caveman.

     Bach was sporting an enormous diamond cut by laser into a five-pointed star. The two plan to be married sometime this year, probably in Europe, with about 50 friends present.

     The witty and charming Starr, who left the hotel only for an appearance on the Phil Donahue show, has been forced to travel with a five-man security detail since the death of John Lennon in December. His new Columbia album, due out in June, tentatively, is titled You Can't Fight Lightning.
