As Ringo Starr’s fans know, the former Beatles drummer is all about promoting “peace and love,” so it’s not surprising that he’d be upset over reports that some murderous British-born Islamic militants have been given nicknames by their fellow jihadists corresponding to those of Fab Four members.

Among the militants is one that reportedly goes by the name of “Jihadi John,” who is suspected being the man seen beheading two U.S. journalists in separate gruesome videos released by the Islamic militant group ISIS in recent weeks.

Speaking Thursday with the London Evening Standard, Starr fumed, “It’s bull.  What they are doing out there is against everything The Beatles stood for.”

Ringo added that he feels helpless about the monikers of his old band’s members being used by such a violent group of people.

“If we stood for anything we never stood for that,” the 74-year-old rock legend declared.  “The four of us absolutely stood for peace and love.  But we are not in control.”

A former ISIS hostage revealed that three British militants guarding hostages in Syria had been labeled with the nicknames John, Paul and Ringo because of their accents.
