Grammy-winning rock icon Ringo Starr debuted at the Grand Ole Opry surrounded by Country Music Hall of Famers and fellow Grammy-winning performers.

Spry for a man in his mid-80s, Starr strolled onto the stage wearing head-to-toe black except for a large, silver Western belt buckle and a substantial white cowboy hat that he promptly bumped against the microphone by accident. He removed it almost immediately. Starr received a standing ovation as soon as he walked on stage.
