News Flash! Who Backs Zak!
He's not being asked to step down from The Who.
There have been some communication issues, personal and private on all sides, that needed to be dealt with, and these have been aired happily.
Roger and I would like Zak to tighten up his latest evolved drumming style to accommodate our non-orchestral line up and he has readily agreed. I take responsibility for some of the confusion. Our TCT shows at the Royal Albert Hall were a little tricky for me. I thought that four and a half weeks would be enough time to recover completely from having a complete knee replacement. (Why did I ever think I could land on my knees?) Wrong!
Maybe we didn’t put enough time into sound checks, giving us problems on stage. The sound in the centre of the stage is always the most difficult to work with. Roger did nothing wrong but fiddle with his in-ear monitors. Zak made a few mistakes and he has apologised. Albeit with a rubber duck drummer.
We are a family, this blew up very quickly and got too much oxygen. It’s over. We move forward now with optimism and fire in our bellies.
As for Roger, fans can enjoy his forthcoming solo shows with his fabulous drummer, Scott Devours, who it was rumoured might replace Zak in The Who and has always been supportive of the band.
I owe Scott an apology for not crushing that rumour before it spread. He has been hurt by this. I promise to buy him a very long drink and give him a hug.

Un día como hoy de 1944 nace el oriundo de Londres, el legendario Roger Daltrey, vocalista de la emblemática banda de rock inglesa "The Who". Como dato, para su Zorro Plateado es una verdadera leyendotota, de los mejores frontman de la historia, de mis grandes héroes, quihubole!!
Pero ahora, en este último mes, la cuenta subió a 113 mil pesos. ¡Es una locura! He llamado muchas veces y nunca me han dado una solución, ni una revisión exhaustiva de por qué se está produciendo este problema. @Abastible
¿Qué está pasando #Abastible ?
Estimados señores de @Abastible , ya no sé con quien hablar para que me ayuden a resolver las alzas desproporcionadas que me están cobrando mes a mes. Llevo 2 años pagando boletas con un cobro altísimo. Entre 80 y 90 mil pesos todos los meses. (Continúa hilo)

What better way to mark your 80th year than having your own beer made by your family brewery! A very happy birthday Roger!

It's Roger Daltrey’s birthday - he turns 80.
Pete wrote most of the songs. Keith Moon was the fire. John Entwistle was the rock - but only Roger could do these vocals. SOUND UP!
Pure transcendence.
Happy 80th.
Happy 80th birthday to @TheWho's Roger Daltrey. In "The Tale of Two Springfields," he tells Marge to "Get out of the way." He also improvised this alternate response, which was included in the Season 12 DVD deleted scenes. #TheSimpsons
