Zak Starkey has been sacked from the Who - again - just a couple of weeks after being reinstated in the band, and Josh Freese has been ejected from Foo Fighters, in a brutal weekend of high-profile drummer nixing.
Both men have issued defiant statements. Starkey, in particular, is not about to go quietly, refusing to peddle what he says is an officially mandated narrative about his sudden (re)departure, something the band seem to claim was down to their in-out drummer's 'new projects'.
