It’s been revealed how The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have sacked their long-time drummer Zak Starkey.

A spokesperson for band said: “The band made a collective decision to part ways with Zak after this round of shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

“They have nothing but admiration for him and wish him the very best for his future.”

According to sources, Roger and Pete’s decision has “upset” Zak.

An insider told The Mirror: “It’s a little acrimonious to say the least.”

The fall out is believed to have occurred during two recent Royal Albert Hall performances.

Sources claim there were some questions raised over Zak’s drumming at the March shows, which were in honour of Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust charity.

While fans seemed to be thrilled with the band’s shows at the iconic venue, insiders claim there were a “few issues with the drumming….and the standard wasn’t as high as everyone wanted.”

However, another source told the outlet that it’s a blow to the band to see Zac go.

“He is an extremely talented drummer and it doesn’t make any sense.” they said.
