NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- Former Beatle Ringo Starr is set to lead the most recent incarnation of his packaged band, the All-Starrs, into the New York area.

When the All-Starrs hit the stage at Radio City on Thursday night, it will mark the ninth time Starr has brought together a collection of musical stars to perform together since 1989, the New York Daily News reported.

While the 1989 tour featured headliners such as rocker Bruce Springsteen, this year's tour will offer fans an assortment of musical acts, including Richard Marx, Edgar Winter and Sheila E.

"We change the personnel," Starr said in an interview. "That's really all we can do. There's nothing else we want to change."

All members of the tour are allowed time to take the lead and perform their own hit songs, yet also participate as back-up musicians for their fellow stars.

Also featured on this year's tour are rockers Billy Squire, Hamish Stuart, Mark Hudson, and Rod Argent of The Zombies, the Daily News said.
