"What happened was I got it right and Roger got it wrong": Zak Starkey reveals the story behind his departure from The Who... and says he might yet return

Zak Starkey and Roger Daltrey onstage.

Zak Starkey, the former Who drummer who was fired, rehired and fired again by the band last month, has told his side of the story.

Speaking with The Telegraph, Starkey says he was forced to accept the blame for an onstage error made by The Who's frontman Roger Daltrey. Starkey says the trouble was related to the band's performance of the rarely-played The Song is Over at the second of this year's Teenage Cancer Trust benefit shows at London's Royal Albert Hall.
