Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that he wants to reunite with ex-Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr.

McCartney told US chatshow The View: "Yeah, I would love to [work with Ringo]. We do things from time to time together, but it doesn't always come up."

The 66-year-old confessed that getting his schedule to work with Starr's is the most difficult hurdle to overcome.

"Sometimes he'll be on tour when I'm not," he said. "But we don't rule it out, it'd be great. He's a great drummer and we're used to each other. Let's hear it for Ringo!"

The surviving Beatles last worked together in 1994 when they put overdubs on home recordings by John Lennon with the help of George Harrison, who passed away from cancer in 2001.
