Zak Starkey, the son of Ringo Starr, is seen putting his feet up in new snaps following the discovery of a blood clot in his right leg.

The musician, 59, was forced to cancel a show at London’s Karma Sanctum Soho on Tuesday after he was diagnosed with the health condition.

And days later, the Mantra of the Cosmos drummer is recovering at home, with Zak  kicking back on his sofa amid his health issue. 

It’s been said that Zak was sidelined to rest for two weeks by his doctors, The Independent, and prescribed blood thinners for the hazardous health condition. 

And the rocker certainly appeared to be content with his downtime as worked in his studio while elevating his feet.

He was also seen scrolling on his phone during his break from work.

Zak had been set to take the stage with his music group Mantra of the Cosmos when he received the alarming health alert, The Independent reported, leading him to withdraw from Tuesday’s outing hours ahead of showtime.

Starkey’s bandmates – Happy Mondays vocalist Shaun Ryder, 62, Oasis guitarist Andy Bell, 54, and percussionist Mark ‘Bez’ Berry, 60 – remained at the venue on Tuesday.

In lieu of a live show, patrons watched film of a performance from the group Sunday filmed in the hallowed Beatles ground of Liverpool at the Cavern Club.

The Beatles had played their first show at the venue, according to the outlet.

In addition to the musical milestone, the Cavern Club is also where Starr first crossed paths with Starkey’s mother Maureen Tigrett, who the Beatle was wed to from 1965-1975.

‘First of all, can I say how special it was to play the Cavern with Zak Starkey,’ Berry said, according to the outlet. ‘He’s never been to the Cavern before and it felt special … it was better than anything I ever imagined in my life.’

Berry added, ‘I couldn’t believe how good it was … to play there … I had to show off right at the end.

‘His f***ing dad’s Ringo Starr! Know what I mean? We felt like the Beatles – well, I did for a little moment.’

Starkey told the BBC Monday prior to his health crisis that he felt as if he had been ‘picked up and carried by the music’ while performing at the Cavern Club.

Starkey said, ‘We set up two kits and we double drummed the Beatles show. I’ve never been nervous in my life – I’ve been on stage since I was 12 years old – but it’s holy music. I know it, but I don’t know the drum bit.’

According to the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, ‘Blood clots can be very serious and need to be treated’ immediately, as they ‘can be life threatening if not treated quickly.’

The NHS said that common symptoms of a blood clot consist of ‘throbbing or cramping pain, swelling, redness and warmth in a leg or arm.’

Other symptoms, according to the NHS, include ‘sudden breathlessness, sharp chest pain (may be worse when you breathe in) and a cough or coughing up blood.’

The U.K.’s healthcare system said that ‘staying healthy and active can help prevent them.’

Common measures practiced by high-risk patients include ‘wearing stockings that improve your blood flow or taking medicine to reduce the risk of clots (anticoagulants),’ the NHS said.

To avoid blood clots, people are advised to stay active and walk regularly; stay hydrated by drinking water; keeping one’s weight down; and wearing compression socks on flights.

Common factors in people who have blood clots include cigarette smoking; alcohol consumption; and staying sedentary for extended stretches, said the NHS.
