The Beatles legend Ringo Starr has defended his son Zak Starkey after he was unceremoniously sacked from The Who for a second time.
Starkey, 59, joined the rock group full-time in 1996, and was first fired from the band in April over a dispute concerning his performance at the Royal Albert Hall the previous month. Only two weeks after he was reinstated ahead of the band’s farewell tour announcement, however, he was fired again.
