Delicate Surgery Required
This time, the tumor posed an even greater challenge due to its sensitive location — it was pressing on areas of the brain linked to speech and memory. Doctors advised immediate surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible without causing additional harm.
Family Unity Amid Crisis
Ringo Starr, the world-famous drummer celebrated for his cheerful demeanor and iconic music career, has kept a low profile during his daughter Lee’s recent health battle. According to family friends, the 84-year-old has remained constantly by her side throughout this latest ordeal.
“Ringo is known as a solid presence, but when it comes to Lee, he’s more than that — he’s a devoted father who would do anything to see his daughter healthy,” one close source revealed. “He’s been present at every doctor’s visit, through every quiet moment, every smile and tear.”
Having lost his first wife Maureen (Lee’s mother) to leukemia in 1994, Ringo has leaned on the support of his close-knit family, including his wife Barbara Bach and sons Zak and Jason, to help navigate this emotional period.
Operation and Healing Process
The operation, which lasted more than six hours, was performed by a team of neurosurgeons with expertise in complex tumors. The team confirmed that they were able to remove most of the tumor, although Lee will require extensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy and continuous medical observation.
Sources near the family say Lee is recovering well, gradually regaining strength and displaying her characteristic humor and artistic spirit. As a fashion designer and artist, she has always turned to creativity for comfort — and she is already sketching in her hospital room, using art as a healing tool.
