Overview

• Zak Starkey, The Who's drummer since 1996 and son of Ringo Starr, has been reinstated after reports of his departure earlier this week.
• The decision follows tensions during a Royal Albert Hall concert in March, where Roger Daltrey paused a song over issues with drum volume.
• Pete Townshend cited communication issues and a need for Starkey to refine his drumming style, which Starkey has agreed to address.
• Speculation about a replacement, including session drummer Scott Devours, was addressed, with Townshend apologizing for the rumors.
• Starkey expressed gratitude for remaining part of The Who and noted his full recovery from a January medical emergency involving blood clots.
