Zak Starkey Reinstated as The Who's Drummer After Communication Issues Resolved

Zak Starkey, The Who’s longtime drummer, has been officially welcomed back into the band following a brief and public split. The initial dismissal was attributed to 'overplaying' during recent Royal Albert Hall performances and communication issues among band members. Both Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey have since clarified that these concerns have been resolved, with Starkey agreeing to adjust his drumming style for the band’s current lineup. Townshend acknowledged his own recovery from knee surgery may have contributed to the onstage difficulties. The band emphasized their familial bond and expressed optimism moving forward, while also apologizing to Scott Devours, who was rumored as Starkey's replacement. The incident is now considered closed, with The Who continuing with Starkey as their drummer.
