Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, on July 7, 1940. His parents divorced when he was three and he and his mother moved to another home in Liverpool. While attending Silas Infants' Schools he suffered from many afflictions that basically ruined his education: he had constant severe abdominal pains, was once diagnosed with a ruptured appendix that led to an inflamed peritoneum--which ... led to one of his first surgeries--he was in a coma for a couple of months, during which more operations were performed, and he was known to be accident-prone. Shortly after he came out of the coma, he was trying to offer a toy bus to another boy in an adjoining bed, but fell and received a concussion. When he finally was able to go back to school, he learned that he was far behind in his studies. As if that weren't bad enough, at age 13 he caught a cold that turned into chronic pleurisy, necessitating another stay at another hospital in Liverpool.
