The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend SACK drummer Zak Starkey after ‘huge fall out’

The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have reportedly sacked drummer Zak Starkey following a ‘huge fall out’.

After playing together for decades, the band have recently parted ways with Zak, with the bust-up having happened after the band’s two recent gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.

A spokesperson told The Mirror: ‘The band made a collective decision to part ways with Zak after this round of shows at the Royal Albert Hall. They have nothing but admiration for him and wish him the very best for his future.’ 

However, the decision to axe Zak, who has been in the band for almost 30 years, has allegedly left him very ‘upset’.

The insider went on to add: ‘It’s a little acrimonious to say the least.’

Sources have allegedly claimed that there were question marks over Zak’s drumming at the shows last month.

And while fans were loving the shows, which were in honour of Roger’s Teenage Cancer Trust charity, a source claimed there were a ‘few issues with the drumming….and the standard wasn’t as high as everyone wanted.’

However, a different source noted that ‘extremely talented’ Zak’s departure is sure to rock the band, with his axing not making ‘any sense’. 

MailOnline have contacted representatives of The Who for comment. 

Zak is the son of Beatles legend Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey Tigrett.
