The Who have reversed course on their announcement last week regarding their dismissal of longtime drummer Zak Starkey. Guitarist Pete Townshend released a statement saying, "He’s not being asked to step down from The Who," adding, "There have been some communication issues, personal and private on all sides, that needed to be dealt with, and these have been aired happily. See the full statement on IG HERE.
And Zak issued a statement saying, "I'm very grateful to be a part of the Who family. Thanks Roger and Pete."
He also acknowledged his playing at the Albert Hall shows was perhaps sub-par, adding, "Sorry Rog, I dropped a few beats … I’ll pick em up next time if I can. Apologies…" Check out some of that performance HERE.
