Roger Daltrey hits out at axed The Who drummer Zak Starkey for ‘incredibly upsetting' remarks after fallout
The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has said that comments made by the axed drummer Zak Starkey after leaving the rock group were 'incredibly upsetting'. Earlier this year, Starkey, the son of Beatles' legend Ringo Starr, was sensationally sacked from the rock band twice in quick succession. The reasons behind the split have been disputed: longtime Who members Daltrey and Pete Townshend have claimed that Starkey made a mistake during their Royal Albert Hall performance in April, while Starkey has claimed that the error was Daltrey's. Later, the band said the drummer had exited the project willingly due to other commitments, but Starkey claimed he had been asked to agree with the statement, and did not want to leave the group. Starkey told The Telegraph that poor planning and under-rehearsal had led to an onstage glitch, which meant Daltrey came in too early when performing 'The Song is Over'. 'What happened was I got it right and Roger got it wrong,' he said. Addressing Starkey's comments, Daltrey told The Times: 'It was kind of a character assassination and it was incredibly upsetting.' Daltrey stated that the dispute began over the band's use of electronic drums, which he hears through in-ear monitors. 'It is controlled by a guy on the side, and we had so much sub-bass on the sound of the drums that I couldn't pitch,' he explained. 'I was pointing to the bass drum and screaming at [Starkey] because it was like flying a plane without seeing the horizon. So when Zak thought I was having a go at him, I wasn't. That's all that happened.' When asked about the back-and-forth between the group, who reinstated Starkey before sacking him again, Daltrey said: 'Pete and I retain the right to be the Who. Everyone else is a session player. 'You can't replace Keith Moon. We wanted to branch out and that's all I want to say about it. But [Starkey's reaction] was crippling to me.' The Independent has contacted Starkey's representative for comment. Following the dispute, Starkey was replaced by Scott Devours. Starkey told The Independent in June that he had been told not to retrieve his drum kit from storage just yet. 'I don't know what the f*** is happening,' he said. 'The thing is, this is The Who, man. The most unpredictable, aggressive, arrogant people, lovely people who are my family, but you never know what's gonna happen, and that's why it's The Who. They have an addiction to friction.'

Christel Khalil Is Soap Hub's Y&R Performer of the Month for July 2025
Christel Khalil gave a tour de force performance throughout July as The Young and the Restless took Lily Winters far from Genoa City and into an emotional firestorm in the South of France. When Cane's dark secrets unraveled in the most dramatic way possible, Khalil held nothing back—channeling Lily's devastation, fury, and confusion with aching precision. Whether facing Cane's (Billy Flynn) web of deception, grieving Damian (Jermaine Rivers) in real time, or wrestling with the shock of a deadly betrayal, Khalil kept viewers locked in and breathless. Her layered portrayal reminded us why Lily remains a cornerstone of the Y&R canvas. Khalil Navigates Lily's Emotional Descent What started as a romantic escape quickly unraveled when Cane's revenge plot exploded into chaos and tragedy. Khalil's portrayal of Lily's slow-burning realization—that she'd been manipulated again—was heartbreaking. She conveyed the disorientation of betrayal without ever falling into melodrama, showing Lily's strength even as her heart cracked wide open. When she confronted Cane about the deaths he helped set in motion, Khalil's steely delivery made it clear Lily was done making excuses. The way she shut him down—eyes brimming with grief but voice unwavering—was one of her most commanding moments to date. MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. Telling Nate the Truth Perhaps Khalil's most poignant scene came when Lily called Nate (Sean Dominic) to tell him Damian was dead. Her voice trembled as she struggled to find the words, revealing Lily's guilt and heartbreak without overplaying it. She didn't just deliver lines—she carried the weight of the moment, allowing space for both pain and dignity. The way she framed Damian's murder and confessed to falling for him just before his death added another layer of complexity to her performance. Khalil showed us Lily's vulnerability and resilience, back-to-back, in one unforgettable phone call. WATCH THIS: Soap Hub Says breaks down everything heating up in soaps. Solve the daily Crossword

Y&R Spoilers July 30: Victor Teaches Cane A Hard Lesson As Adam & Victoria Call A Truce
The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, July 30, end the Cane in France story the way all Y&R stories are required to end by law—with Victor being the winner… and taking revenge on those who didn't go along with him from the start. Victor Comes Out On Top Cane (Billy Flynn) almost got the best of Victor (Eric Braeden). There were a couple of minutes there when Victor didn't know exactly what was going on, or what the agenda was, and another, equally horrific minute, when Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) wasn't listening to Victor, and considering giving in to Cane's demands. Thankfully, that's all over now. Everyone—by which we mean Genoa City; by which we mean a couple of people from Genoa City who happen to be in France—now knows that Victor was the good guy all along (and the smartest), and Cane was the bad guy (and never the smartest, no matter how it may have seemed). Which means it's time for Victor to tell Cane how things are going to be from now on. MORE: Find out what happened on Y&R today. Victoria And Adam Bury The Hatchet Meanwhile, back in Genoa City, without Victor around to pit them against each other and make it clear which child he loves more—though if said child does something (anything!) wrong, Victor could just as easily change his mind—Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Adam (Mark Grossman) are… getting along? Yeah, it's weird. But it's happening. They actually have a lot in common. Good thing Victor is on his way home. He can nip that nonsense in the bud and make sure there are no alliances forming… especially against him. Nate Gives Amy Bad News Because Cane turned off the internet, those in Genoa City had no idea what was happening in France. Now that service has been restored, Audra (Zuleyka Silver) or Lily (Christel Khalil) could fill Nate (Sean Dominic) in on Damian's (Jermaine Rivers) murder. And Nate is tasked with filling in Amy (Valerie Pettiford). WATCH THIS: Soap Hub Says delivers your dose of soap scandals and shockers. Solve the daily Crossword
