A legendary rock band is whole again. The Who announced over the weekend that Zak Starkey, the group’s drummer for nearly three decades, is back in the lineup. Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend had reportedly fired him after a “huge fallout” last month, but said he’s been reinstated. “He’s not being asked to step down from The Who,” Townshend said Saturday. “There have been some communication issues, personal and private on all sides, that needed to be dealt with, and these have been aired happily.” Starkey, the 59-year-old son of The Beatles’ Ringo Starr and the godson of original The Who drummer Keith Moon, had been accused of “overplaying” at two charity concerts last month to raise money for Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust. Video showed Daltrey on stage complaining about the “drums going boom, boom, boom” when he’s trying to hear a song’s key. Townshend said Starkey “made a few mistakes” and apologized. “Roger and I would like Zak to tighten up his latest evolved drumming style to accommodate our non-orchestral line up and he has readily agreed,” Townshend said. “We are a family, this blew up very quickly and got too much oxygen. It’s over. We move forward now with optimism and fire in our bellies...” “I owe Scott an apology for not crushing that rumor before it spread. He has been hurt by this. I promise to buy him a very long drink and give him a hug.” The issue occurred during two March shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, just two months after Starkey, 59, suffered a medical emergency from a blood clot in his leg. Starkey, who’s also performed with Mantra of the Cosmos, Oasis and Johnny Marr, said last week that he’s since “completely healed” and no longer has any issues drumming or running. Starkey had been The Who’s full-time drummer since 1996, when he joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group on their Quadrophenia Tour. Starkey contributed to The Who’s most recent albums, including 2006’s “Endless Wire” and 2019’s “Who,” plus multiple live recordings. He also performed with The Who at major events like the 2012 Olympics in London and the 2010 Super Bowl. Daltrey has more than a dozen concerts scheduled this year, including two tour dates with Townshend as The Who in Italy. Starkey will reunite with The Who, while drummer Scott Devours will back up Daltrey’s solo shows. Daltrey, 81, and Townshend, 79, are best known for their work on The Who with hits like “My Generation,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Behind Blue Eyes” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” They performed at the original Woodstock festival and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. The Who was also in Syracuse’s history books history with the largest concert crowd ever at the former Carrier Dome in 1982 — until Metallica broke the record Saturday night.
