“I thought this had blown over. The Who has a new drummer… this is old news and it’s completely wrong.”: Zak Starkey claps back at Roger Daltrey's "character assassination" claims as the drama surrounding his departure from The Who rumbles on

The Who.

This year’s biggest musical soap opera – Zak Starkey’s prolonged sacking from the Who – goes on and on and on.

So...the latest. Roger Daltrey gave an interview to The Times earlier this week in which he described the drummer’s comments about him at the fateful Albert Hall gig way back in March (five months ago!) as "kind of a character assassination and it was incredibly upsetting.” Starkey had said that it was Daltrey who had messed up at that show, missing the intro to The Song Is Over and not him.
