Ringo Starr, Beatles drummer, bemoans the decline in the music industry

The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr bemoans the changes within the music industry and celebrity culture over his decades in the limelight. In his opinion, the record business is in trouble and it is becoming difficult for new bands to break into the industry.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 9 September 2015.

He made these observations on the occasion of the launch of his new photography book, Photograph By Ringo Starr, and exhibition which contains rarely-seen photos of the band and Ringo's childhood.
He had started taking photos in 1959 and his camera went along with him wherever he went. His exhibition is taking place at the National Portrait Gallery in London and the musician wants to go further in future by teaming up with the other Beatles for a book collating all their images.
Ringo Starr has also added that the industry is constantly evolving and that the musicians are good and the music business is good but not the record business - that is going downhill. It is very difficult for new and emerging bands to get a deal.
