The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have reportedly sacked drummer Zak Starkey following a ‘huge fall out’.

After playing together for decades, the band have recently parted ways with Zak, 59, with the bust-up having happened after the band’s two recent gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.

A spokesperson told The Mirror: ‘The band made a collective decision to part ways with Zak after this round of shows at the Royal Albert Hall. They have nothing but admiration for him and wish him the very best for his future.’ 

However, the decision to axe Zak, who has been in the band for almost 30 years, has allegedly left him very ‘upset’.

The insider went on to add: ‘It’s a little acrimonious to say the least.’

Sources have allegedly claimed that there were question marks over Zak’s drumming at the shows last month.

After playing together for decades, the band have recently parted ways with Zak [pictured], with the bust-up having happened after the band’s two recent gigs at the Royal Albert Hall 

And while fans were loving the shows, which were in honour of Roger’s Teenage Cancer Trust charity, a source claimed there were a ‘few issues with the drumming….and the standard wasn’t as high as everyone wanted.’

However, a different source noted that ‘extremely talented’ Zak’s departure is sure to rock the band, with his axing not making ‘any sense’. 

MailOnline have contacted representatives of The Who for comment. 

Zak is the son of Beatles legend Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey Tigrett. 

Back in January, Zak said he feared he would die as he spoke for the first time since he cancelled gigs after he was diagnosed with a blood clot.

Zak had been set to take the stage with his supergroup Mantra of the Cosmos – including Happy Mondays vocalist Shaun Ryder, 62, Oasis guitarist Andy Bell, 54, percussionist Mark ‘Bez’ Berry, 60, and Noel Gallagher, 57, – when he received the alarming health alert.

It lead to him to withdraw from a London gig, hours ahead of showtime.

He has since revealed that the blood clot in his right leg has forced him to rest for two weeks on doctors orders, and he has been prescribed blood thinners for the hazardous health condition.

Zak told MailOnline: ‘At first I thought maybe I just pulled a hamstring or something because that’s where the pain started on the knee and then the MRI scan showed nothing and then an ultrasound showed it the next day. 

‘So we had to pull the gig and I was told to go home straight away. I’m on blood thinners and that should move it you know but it wasn’t ideal news.

‘I am a little bit worried but they said a couple of weeks should be alright. It should be able to dissipate but there is a worry if you move it too much and it hits something major. 

‘If it hits your lungs or your heart or your brain you’re in deep sh**. Or deep earth.’
