Ringo Starr believes that a Beatles reunion could have happened if not for the deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison.

Starr tells Rolling Stone that they discussed the possibility of a reunion, but never really did anything about it.

"With the technology you have now, I think we could have got it together," he said. "I think the stumbling block was just sitting around and saying, 'Okay, let's do it.' And we never got to that. You know, we did in twos, we talked about it."

"But I think if we had just relaxed behind it long enough, we still had the songs, and we still could play," he added.

"We could have put it together. And we could have done "A Day in the Life." Of course, it's ended now. John and George are gone."

Fellow Beatle Paul McCarney will induct Starr into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on April 18.
