As the legendary drummer of The Beatles, Sir Ringo Starr has spent a lifetime spreading messages of peace, love, and unity. He actively encourages artists from all genres and generations to stand together in support of The Non-Violence Project, aiming to stop violence affecting young people.
The Knotted Gun statue was originally created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd as a tribute to John Lennon. Starr designed his own interpretation of the sculpture, titled Drums for Peace, adding his artistic touch to this global symbol of non-violence.
In 2011, Starr joined The Non-Violence Project at the exclusive unveiling of his original Knotted Gun-sculpture in London’s Gibson Guitar Studio, where he called on musicians worldwide to unite for peace. His message remains as strong as ever: “I am doing the best I can, how about you?”
The Drums for Peace sculpture is available in a limited edition, hand-painted and presented in an exclusive gift box with a certificate. A portion of the proceeds supports The Non-Violence Project’s mission.
The Non-Violence Project Foundation is a non-profit organization with special consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
