Ringo Starr says he's too busy to sign autographs and won't do it anymore, the BBC reports. The ex-Beatle—who's apparently had enough adoration for one lifetime—promises to throw away all incoming mail, effective Oct. 20. “I’m warning you with peace and love I have too much to do,” the 68-year-old drummer whines in a video on his website. "No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."
