Overview

• The Who have officially tapped Scott Devours to drum on their Song Is Over North American Farewell Tour starting in August 2025.
• Zak Starkey says conflicts with Roger Daltrey at the Royal Albert Hall in March, including a disputed cue on “The Song Is Over,” led to his second dismissal.
• Starkey reveals he declined an invitation to tour with a reformed Oasis to prioritize his commitments with The Who.
• Pete Townshend initially pointed to private communication issues for the lineup change and announced Devours, who has backed Daltrey’s solo work, as Starkey’s replacement.
• Despite his departure, Starkey says Daltrey told him to keep his drums in the band’s warehouse in case they need him again.
