JAKARTA - Zak Starkey is reported to have been kicked out of his position as drummer for The Who, last week, after it was said that there was a conflict between personnel after his appearance at the Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
However, the news that fans had received as the truth coupled with Starkey's confirmation was refuted through Pete Townshend's statement on his social media account.
The guitarist who is also the frontman of The Who wrote a statement published in the upload on the band's official Instagram account.
"Newst News! Who supports Zak! He was not asked to resign from The Who," Townshend wrote, quoted from the caption of The Who's upload, Monday, April 21.
The guitarist acknowledged that there was a communication problem that occurred. However, these problems have been resolved by each member including Roger Daltrey (vocals) together with the team.
"Roger and I want Zak to tighten his latest drum style that has evolved to accommodate our non-orkestra formation and he has agreed," Townshend said.

The 79-year-old guitarist also discussed the problems that occurred when The Who appeared at Albert Hall. He said there was confusion due to a lack of preparation.
"Maybe we didn't take enough time for a voice check, so it got us into trouble on stage. The voice in the middle of the stage has always been the most difficult to overcome. Roger didn't make any mistakes except to tamper with his in-ear monitor. Zak made some mistakes and he has apologized," he said. We are family, it exploded very quickly and spent too much oxygen. It's over. We are moving forward now with optimism and enthusiasm.
Townshend also apologized for the delay in confirming the position of drummer The Who.
Regarding Roger, fans can enjoy his upcoming solo show with his great drummer Scott Devours, who is rumored to be replacing Zak at The Who and always supporting the band," he said. I owe Scott an apology for not dismissing the rumors before spreading. He was hurt by it. I promised to treat him liquor and hug him.
