The Who has ended its long-standing relationship with drummer Zak Starkey, who has served with the band since 1996. Starkey attributed his departure to frontman Roger Daltrey's dissatisfaction with his drumming during recent performances, particularly at their Royal Albert Hall shows. In contrast, The Who described the split as a collective decision, wishing Starkey well in his future. Starkey, at 59, is notable for being the longest-tenured drummer after original member Keith Moon, indicating a significant change in the band's history.
Zak Starkey claims he was unceremoniously fired from The Who after 30 years for overplaying, with Roger Daltrey unhappy about his performance at recent shows.
The band released a statement stating it was a collective decision and expressed admiration for Starkey, wishing him the best in his future endeavors.
