Career

Early years (1977-1980)

Starkey received his first drum kit from his father, although it is mistakenly reported that it was given to him by his idol, The Who's Keith Moon^{[citation needed]}. Moon did, however, give Zak his first professional kit – one Moon previously used with The Who - and also some drumming lessons. The Who are a British rock band that first formed in 1964, and grew to be considered one of the greatest[1] and most influential[2] bands in the world. ... Keith John Moon (August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978) was the drummer of the rock group The Who. ...

At the age of eight, Starkey became interested in music. At ten, he started teaching himself how to play drums after receiving only one lesson from his famous father, who reportedly did not want him following in his footsteps. Although Ringo praises his son's undeniable skills and talent, he said that he "always regarded Zak as a lawyer or as a doctor", not a drummer like himself.

By the age of 12, Starkey was already performing in pubs with a band. In his teens, Starkey was a member of a garage act, the Next.

The Who (1994-present)

Although Zak had previously worked with John Entwistle in Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band tours, he received his first opportunity to work with The Who in 1994, with Roger Daltrey in his "Daltrey Sings Townshend" tour. This tour developed from a two night performance at Carnegie Hall to celebrate Daltrey's fiftieth birthday, when he afterward recruited John Entwistle, Simon Townshend and Zak Starkey to complete a U.S. tour. John Alec Entwistle (October 9, 1944 – June 27, 2002) was an English bass guitarist, songwriter, singer, and horn player, who was best known as the bass guitarist for rock band The Who. ...

In 1996, Starkey left his band Face, to work with The Who on their Quadrophenia tour. He received very good reviews in this role for being a strong drumming presence but without explicitly imitating Moon. Zak was the full-time drummer for The Who beginning with their 1996 Quadrophenia Tour. Both Townshend and Daltrey stated that he is the best drummer The Who had since the death of original drummer Keith Moon. He provided drumming for one track on The Who's 2006 album Endless Wire, and for two new tracks released in 2004 on The Who: Then and Now. However, he was unable to provide the drumming for the EP Wire & Glass or the album Endless Wire because he was on tour with Oasis at the time Townshend recorded the songs. Starkey worked with The Who on The Who Tour 2006-2007, which was to finish in Glastonbury in 2007. It finished at Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland on 9 July.

According to Pete Townshend's official web site, Zak was invited to become a full member of The Who, but he declined:

Oasis (2004-present)

In 2004, Starkey spent time working with the Britpop band Oasis, following longtime drummer Alan White's departure. In May 2005, Noel Gallagher revealed to the BBC that Starkey had recorded in the recording sessions (March-December 2004) for their new album, Don't Believe the Truth. Zak recorded all but one track of the sessions. In an official promotional video for the album, Zak commented on the band and the sessions, saying, "It was amazing.

Starkey participated in every show on Oasis' 2005/2006 world tour and also appeared in the promo videos for the singles. However, as he was not an official member of the band, he very rarely appeared with the rest of the band in promotional activities such as interviews and photo shoots.

After the end of tours in April, Noel Gallagher confirmed that Starkey was invited to be Oasis' official drummer, but that couldn't materialize before his current working engagements with The Who are completed in mid-2007. Gallagher said that he felt Starkey had strong emotional ties with The Who and he wouldn't leave them completely, also adding that he was content to have Starkey alternate his career between the two bands.

It is unconfirmed whether Starkey is official member of the band and also whether he is with them in the studio at the moment working on their seventh studio album. Most fans assume so, considering the previous comments of Noel and because Starkey was eager to continue work with Oasis after the end of the Who tour. The seventh studio album by Oasis is currently in development with a targeted release in 2008. ...

Other work (1980-present)
