What do you think about this? April told us all about it tonight on KTG Rocks.

9/3/1968: Ringo Starr rejoined The Beatles less than two weeks after quitting the band. Why did he leave in the first place? Well... he found out Paul was secretly deleting his drum tracks for The White Album and replacing them with his own.

Starr went to bandmate John Lennon and said he felt unloved, left out, & he's leaving the band. Afterwards, he headed straight for a yacht in Sardinia.

Ringo ended up chilling with the captain of the yacht and talking about marine life. One thing led to another and Octopus’s Garden was born.

Meanwhile, back in the UK Paul, Lennon, & George were laying down the tracks for Back in the U.S.S.R. and Dear Prudence. During their time in the studio the band realized they really couldn't go on without Ringo. They ended up sending him a telegram saying that they loved him and that he was the best drummer in the world.

That was enough for Starr. When he returned to the studio, his drum kit was covered in flowers in a message that read: “Welcome back, Ringo”.
