STARR TURN!

The Beatles legend adds another string to his bow...

RINGO STARR is to become a cartoon superhero.


The ex-Beatle is set to feature in a new cartoon which will hit TV and DVD next year.


The brainchild of the cartoon is ’Spider-Man’ creator Stan Lee.


He said: "Ringo is beloved worldwide for his commitment to people and his singular wit. Our Ringo superhero character will combine these qualities, along with Ringo's secret powers."


Starr added:"How great to hang out with Stan and laugh, laugh, laugh, as we're in the first stages of creating this soon-to-be masterpiece. Adding music to this adventure is something I am also looking forward to."
