Zak Starkey, eh? For decades, he’s seemingly lived a steady(ish) existence, known not just as Ringo’s son but also a dependable drummer in his own right, who’s held down a position in two of the UK’s biggest (and most combustible) acts. But we’ve heard more about and from him in the three months since his initial sacking from the Who than we have for the last 30 years.
Now he’s given a highly amusing interview to NME that covers everything from his long-drawn-out Who sacking to Oasis to his hobby band Mantra Of The Cosmos. Even if the Gallaghers are no longer talking to the press, one (ex) Oasis member is keeping up the band tradition of providing entertaining copy for the members of the fourth estate.
