The grumpy rocker made the odd outburst in a video on his website telling fans he did not have time to reply and not to send him anything after October 20th.

On hearing the odd news I listened to his 'album', after that replying to fan-mail sounds like a more productive way of spending his time, maybe that's just me.

"After the 20th of October please do not send any fanmail to any address you have. If that is the date on the envelope, it's gonna be tossed," Ringo says in the clip.

"I'm warning you with peace and love, I have too much to do. "So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you.
