Apparently fed up with piles of fan mail that make it hard to find the door, former Beatle drummer Ringo Starr has told his fans to stop writing to him.

Ringo (left) won't find peace unless fans of The Beatles, not to mention The Simpsons and Thomas the Tank Engine, stop writing to him.

He says any mail sent to him after Sunday won't get read or answered.

He says he doesn't have time to answer any more letters or sign any more pictures of himself, John, Paul and George.

Ringo has delivered the message via video on his Web site, but that might not be enough to get the word out. He's apparently considering writing a song to help spread the message.

It will go something like this:

"A lady I don't know wrote from Columbia
in a language that I barely understand.
She sent me a Fab Four photo, ha ha!
She said I was the best in the whole band

"And I said,
No, no, no, no, don't write me no more
I'm tired of reading letters, it's a bore.
No, thank you, please, you're killing too many trees
And then you'll get a lecture from Al Gore."
