Ringo Starr, the Beatles" drummer, claimed that he has found God. He said that after taking a long and winding road to enlightenment, he finally found God.

The reformed rock legend, who turns 70 in July, admitted he lost his way when he was young, referring to the time when he suffered alcohol and cocaine problems in the late 1970s.

Ever since he became a teetotaller and had quit his 60-a-day cigarette habit, he turned to religious practices. For him, religion now plays an important role in his life.

“I feel the older I get, the more I"m learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself," said Starr at a Grammy Museum event in Los Angeles.

“I stepped off the path for many years and found my way back onto it, thank God," he added.
