Zak Starkey "Retired" from The Who, According to Roger Daltrey

Zak Starkey "Retired" from The Who, According to Roger Daltrey
May 29, 2025

In a shocking turn of events, Zak Starkey has reportedly retired from his drumming duties with legendary rock band The Who. The news comes straight from frontman Roger Daltrey, who revealed the surprising information in a recent interview.

Starkey, who is the son of Ringo Starr, has been an integral part of The Who's lineup for over two decades, bringing his own unique energy and flair to the band's iconic sound. His powerhouse drumming has been a key component of The Who's live performances, helping to keep audiences on their feet and rocking out all night long.

While it's always sad to see a talented musician step away from the spotlight, Daltrey expressed his support for Starkey's decision, praising him for his contributions to the band over the years. Fans of The Who will no doubt miss seeing Starkey behind the drum kit, but we can only hope that his retirement opens up new opportunities for him to explore his musical talents in other ways.

As we reflect on the impact that Zak Starkey has had on The Who's music, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the incredible performances and unforgettable moments that he has been a part of. From massive stadium shows to intimate club gigs, Starkey has always brought his A-game, helping to solidify The Who's reputation as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

So as we bid farewell to Zak Starkey and his time with The Who, let's raise a glass to the memories, the music, and the magic that he has brought to fans around the world. Here's to you, Zak – thank you for everything.
