Despite recently celebrating his 84th birthday, Starr is as busy as ever and told PEOPLE last year that he knows age is just a number.

“Nothing makes me feel old. In my head, I’m 27,” he said. “Wisdom is a heavy word. (Growing) is what happens, and you try to keep busy.”

He also explained why he never had to work hard to have a positive attitude towards life.
