Timeline

1965

Zak Richard Starkey (born 13 September 1965) is an English rock drummer who has performed and recorded with the English rock band the Who since 1996.

He is also the third drummer to have appeared with the English rock band Oasis.

Other musicians and bands he has worked with include Johnny Marr, The Icicle Works, the Lightning Seeds, and The Semantics.

Starkey is the son of the Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr.

Zak Richard Starkey was born on 13 September 1965, at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in Hammersmith, London, to the Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) and Maureen Starkey, Starr's first wife.

1980

In the early 1980s, Starkey appeared with a re-formed Spencer Davis Group.

1981

He grew up at Sunny Heights at St George's Hill in Surrey and Tittenhurst Park at Sunninghill, Berkshire, and attended Highgate School in London until 1981.

At the age of eight, Starkey was given a drum kit by the Who's drummer, Keith Moon.

Moon (known to young Zak as "Uncle Keith") was one of his father's closest friends and Starkey's godfather.

Although they never sat together at a drum kit, Moon discussed drumming with him as a boy.

The drum kit was later sold at Sotheby's for £12,000.

Starkey subsequently began teaching himself to play the drums.

His father gave him only one lesson, but he discouraged his growing interest because of the desire not to see him in the same business.

Although Starr has praised his son's abilities, he had always regarded him as a future lawyer or doctor.

Starr's close friend, Kenney Jones, drummer for the Faces and Moon's replacement in the Who, stated that he "virtually taught" the young Starkey to play the drums.

By the age of twelve, Starkey was performing in pubs as a member of the garage band The Next.

After Moon's death, Jones gifted the teenage Starkey a white drum kit formerly owned by Moon, which had been kept in storage by the Who.

1985

His daughter Tatia was born on 7 September 1985.

In 1985, Starkey played on John Entwistle's solo album The Rock (released in 1996).

In 1985, he joined his father on Sun City by Artists United Against Apartheid and during 1992 and 1995, Starkey toured with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, having previously guested on the band's 1989 tour.

1988

Starkey replaced Chris Sharrock as the drummer in The Icicle Works in 1988, leaving the band after a brief tenure and appearing on only one recording.

Founder member Ian McNabb issued a B-side after Starkey's departure from the band.

The song features Starkey on drums and, as it includes band personnel from the time, is presumed to date from his tenure with the group.

1989

Starkey also plays on the 1989 album Silver and Gold, a solo work released by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith.

1994

In 1994, he joined John Entwistle and Roger Daltrey of the Who on a tour entitled "Daltrey Sings Townshend", which had developed from a two-night performance at Carnegie Hall to celebrate Daltrey's fiftieth birthday.

1995

In late 1995, he joined the band Face.

1996

He briefly joined The Semantics, replacing founding drummer Jody Spence, during the recording process for their album Powerbill, which ended up being released only in Japan in 1996 (after the group had disbanded).

He joined the band when they moved from Nashville to Los Angeles and played in some shows and some recording sessions, but the band broke up less than a year after he joined.

In the spring of 1996, he left the band to work with the Who on their Quadrophenia tour.

He received good reviews in this role and was praised by the music press for his strong drumming presence, without trying to emulate the band's original drummer Keith Moon.

Both Townshend and Daltrey stated that Starkey was the best match for the band since the death of Keith Moon.

2001

On 20 October 2001, he performed with the Who at the Concert for New York City at Madison Square Garden.

This was heralded as the Who's "comeback" performance and they stole the show.

Rolling Stone called their performance "one of the 50 moments that changed rock and roll".

It was also one of John Entwistle's final appearances with the band.

2006

Starkey was not available to record for most of the Who's 2006 album Endless Wire, as he had been on the road with Oasis and only had time to play on one track.

However, he did join the Who for The Who Tour 2006-2007 in support of the album, during which they headlined at Glastonbury Festival in 2007.

2010

Starkey performed at Ringo Starr's 70th birthday party on 7 July 2010 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

He joined his father and guest stars Yoko Ono, Nils Lofgren, Steven Van Zandt and Jeff Lynne for "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Give Peace a Chance".

On 7 February 2010, Starkey appeared with the Who during the half-time show of Super Bowl XLIV at the Sun Life Stadium, Miami, Florida.
