Ringo Starr can’t play The Beatles: Rock Band computer game.
The musician – who was the drummer in the Fab Four – has tried to beat the virtual skins but struggles to replicate his parts virtually.
He said: “I’m absolutely c**p at it. We tried it when they were putting it together and they’d bring all these geniuses out to play it. It’s too frantic for me.”
Ringo, 69, thinks he is now too old to master computer games and wants to leave the fun to the younger generation.
“The graphics are great, I love the game and I love the music. But it’s for young folk.”
Ringo isn’t the only member of the legendary group unable to get to grips with the game.
Bassist Sir Paul McCartney turned down the chance to recreate his biggest hits on the game, but his grandchildren 10-year-old Arthur and Elliott, seven - the children of his daughter Mary – love it.
Giles Martin - the son of Beatles producer Sir George Martin - said: "Paul held the instrument and was asked if he wanted to play. He said, 'To be honest I was in the band the first time round.'
"I was at Abbey Road studios when Paul was there. He was with his daughters Beatrice and Mary, who had her boys with her and I said to the boys, 'Do you want to play the game pretending to be your grandfather?' They loved it."
