Roger Daltrey Discusses The Who’s Drummer Dynamics Ahead of Nashville Show

Roger Daltrey recently opened up about the challenges The Who has faced with drummers since the passing of Keith Moon in 1978. In a candid interview, he stated, “It’s never been the same since Keith died. I can’t pretend it has.” Daltrey reflected on the band’s past, emphasizing how they thrived creatively when Moon was part of the lineup.

Over the years, The Who has seen several drummers, including Kenney Jones and Simon Phillips, but it was Zak Starkey who rejoined the band after a tumultuous departure last year. Daltrey expressed his fondness for Starkey, stating, “We love Zak. Sometimes the road doesn’t love Zak. It gets on top of him, so it becomes difficult, but we love him.” This sentiment was echoed during a recent solo performance where Daltrey revealed that The Who has been rehearsing with Starkey again.

Daltrey is currently on his “A Great Night Out” tour, with a notable stop at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on September 9, 2026. Fans are eager to see how the band’s dynamic evolves with Starkey back in the fold, bringing hope for renewed energy in The Who’s performances.
