The Who fire drummer Zak Starkey after Royal Albert Hall performance
Move described as ‘a collective decision’ follows reports that Roger Daltrey was unhappy with ‘drums going boom, boom, boom’ at recent gig
The Who have parted ways with Zak Starkey, the band’s drummer since 1996, apparently over a disagreement about his playing at their Royal Albert Hall gig last month. Starkey has also played with Oasis – although the lineup for the band’s upcoming reunion tour is yet to be officially announced – Johnny Marr, the Lightning Seeds, Sly and Robbie, and his father. He performs in the recently formed supergroup Mantra of the Cosmos, also featuring Shaun Ryder and Bez of the Happy Mondays and Black Grape, and Andy Bell of Oasis and Ride.
