“We need more singing and dancing from you, John!” a third person said.
Meanwhile others praised what they dubbed an iconic “dream team”.
While touring and performing to a live audience seems second nature to Ringo, it’s rare that John Travolta makes similar appearances, despite how well known he is for his singing as well as his acting career.

Saturday’s show therefore offered fans the rare treat of seeing John take to the stage to sing.
Last year, Ringo surprised audiences when he was a special guest at Paul McCartney’s final Got Back tour performance in London.
The pair performed two songs, ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)’ and ‘Helter Skelter’ to audiences gathered at the O2 on Thursday, December 19.
