Zak Starkey says his father made the comment after he was fired over a disagreement about his performance
Ringo Starr has reportedly criticised the way “that little man” Roger Daltrey runs the Who after Starr’s son was sacked from the band.
Zak Starkey, 59, who was sacked as the Who’s drummer over a disagreement about his performance, said he was proud that his father had come to his defence.
The drummer has maintained that during the band’s now infamous “break up” concert in London in March, it was actually the Who’s 81-year-old frontman, Daltrey, who got his timings wrong.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Starkey added fuel to the rift, saying that after he was sacked for the second time in the space of a few weeks, Starr told him: “I’ve never liked the way that little man [Daltrey] runs his band.”
