Roger Daltrey confirmed that The Who recently rehearsed with drummer Zak Starkey to assess the possibility of playing shows in 2027, saying, “We love Zak. Sometimes the road doesn’t love Zak.”
Roger Daltrey discussed the challenges The Who have faced since Keith Moon’s death, stating, “It’s never been the same since Keith died. I can’t pretend it has.”
The singer praised Starkey, stating, “Zak Starkey, he’s not Keith Moon, but he comes very close.”
Pete Townshend recently withdrew from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival to focus on recovering from knee replacement surgery and getting “fit and strong enough to join Roger and The Who when they plan to rehearse again.”
Daltrey is currently on his A Great Night Out tour, featuring Who classics, solo material, and covers,.
Starkey, the son of Ringo Starr, has confirmed his return to The Who and expressed excitement about playing with Daltrey and Townshend again.
