The first inkling that drummer Zak Starkey had that something might be amiss, was a feeling of ‘muscle tightness’ in his right leg during a band rehearsal.‘I’m always running around like Tigger and I didn’t feel any real pain, just some tightness in my leg – so I thought I’d just pulled a muscle,’ says Zak, 59, who played with The Who at their two sell-out shows in aid of the Teenage Trust at the Royal Albert Hall last month. (He was reinstated to the band last week after briefly being dropped just days earlier over what the band later described as ‘communication issues’.)‘When you’re a drummer you often get a bit of pain here and there, especially when you’ve been drumming for as long as me,’ says Zak, who has also played with Oasis during his 40-year career and is tipped to join them on stage at their eagerly-awaited sell-out stadium concerts this summer.
