Drummer Zak Starkey calls the Who 'f---ing insane' — but confirms he would return after being fired twice

The Who drummer Zak Starkey says Roger Daltrey made the mistake that led him to be ousted from the band — but he doesn't hold it against him: 'I blame the Who because they’re unpredictable, aggressive and f---ing insane.'

The drama dates back to March, when the band played two Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. Pausing the concert, Daltrey reportedly told the crowd, "To sing that song I do need to hear the key, and I can't. In the wake of Starkey's first dismissal, however, Townshend denied that the drummed was "asked to step down," claiming there had been "communication issues, personal and private on all sides."
