Ringo Starr stars for Skechers
Drummer Ringo Starr has a new album “Postcards from Paradise” scheduled to drop March 31, and he has a full tour schedule through Feburary and March with his All Starr Band. But he’s also found time to be the spokes-celebrity for Skechers Relaxed Fit shoes. The campaign spans print, broadcast and digital media and highlights the former Beatles’ “cool and relaxed charisma and legendary drumming prowess,” according to a news release. “I love to be relaxed, and I’m wearing the shoes because they’re comfortable,” Starr says.
