Ringo Starr is reportedly mad at his Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney over last weekend's Live 8 performance in London. According to contactmusic.com, Starr wanted to play with McCartney in Hyde Park, but he never got a call. The site quotes the drummer as saying, "I was never asked to do it, he didn't ask me. It's too late now - it's disappointing. But I would have only done it if I'd been able to wear my Sgt. Pepper suit." McCartney opened the London show by playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with U2, then ended the night with a set that included the Beatles songs "Get Back," "Helter Skelter," "Drive My Car," "The Long And Winding Road," and an all-star finale of "Hey Jude."
The last time Starr and McCartney performed together was at the George Harrison tribute concert at Royal Albert Hall in London in late 2002.
