She was once blamed for the break-up of The Beatles and it was said that Yoko Ono was resented by her former husband John Lennon's bandmates.
But nowadays, Yoko is rather chummy with the likes of Ringo Starr, and the pair showed what good friends they are at an event on Saturday. 
The Beatles are being honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2014 Grammy Awards and Ringo looked quite exuberant in light of his recognition.


Dynamic duo: Ringo Starr and Yoko Ono received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of The Beatles at the Special Merit Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday

The 73-year-old attended the Special Merit Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles and sat next to Yoko.
The former Beatles drummer went for a typically edgy look in an all black ensemble consisting of a jacket, shirt, and jeans.
Ringo, who was looking incredibly youthful, dressed down his look with trainers that boasted red laces.
