Pete Townshend on the Who’s Split With Zak Starkey: ‘It’s Been a Mess’
Pete Townshend has weighed in on the acrimonious split between the Who and drummer Zak Starkey, admitting of the situation, "It’s been a mess."
Back in April, the Who — or Townshend and Roger Daltrey — announced they “made a collective decision to part ways with Zak” after the drummer’s three-decade tenure with the group. The root of the fallout was the Who (and specifically Daltrey) being unhappy with Starkey’s performance when the band played a pair of Teenage Cancer Trust charity shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall in March. The Who previously announced that Scott Devours, the drummer from Daltrey’s solo band, will join the group for their upcoming farewell tour, a trek that Townshend himself doesn’t seem overly enthused about.
