Pete Townshend, who co-founded English rock band The Who, clarified Ringo Starr's son Zac Starkey’s status with the band after he issued a statement earlier this week saying he was parting ways with the band after their recent round of shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

Starkey got snarky ahead of his official dismissal, posting a photo of himself and Daltrey branded “The Daily Who Breaking News” with an all-caps message on Instagram: “Heard today from inside source that Toger Daktrey [sic] lead singer and principal songwriter of the group unhappy with Zak the drummer’s performance at the Albert Hall a few weeks ago is bringing formal charges of overplaying and is literally going to Zak the drummer and bring on a reserve from ‘The Burwash Carwash Skiffle ‘N’ Tickle Glee Club Harmony Without Empathy Allstars’ this has been confirmed by whose long time manager Willya Youwontyouknow.

Wrote band leader Pete Townshend, "There have been some communication issues, personal and private on all sides, that needed to be dealt with, and these have been aired happily."
