Before WHO's latest farewell tour, Pete Townshend announced that the band splits up with drummer Zak Starkey... this time it's real.
"After years of outstanding work by Zak, the timing of Zak has changed," the guitarist wrote on Sunday's official Instagram. "A poignant time. Zak has a lot of new projects on hand, and I wish him all the best."
Starkey confirmed his exit in response to Townshend's post: "Two weeks after the resumption of trial, I was fired and asked for a statement saying I resigned from my other musical, Terminator. Who I love, and will never quit smoking. So I didn't make anyone without a doubt.

Starkey's departure came just one month later, and was fired by the band for a month in a week and rehired. Rumors have previously announced that they were upset about their performance when they performed a pair of Teenage Cancer Trust at Royal Albert Hall in London in March.
"The band made a collective decision after this round of performances by Royal Albert Hall, separated from Zak after this round. They only admire him and wish him all the best."
“In January, my right bass drum calf suffered a serious medical emergency. Rolling stones On April 16. “After playing with the band for so many decades, I was surprised and sad, I had problems with my performance that night, but what can you do?”
Just three days later, Townshend revealed on social media: "News Breaking News! Who supports Zak!" Townshend announced the song on "Farewell Tour on the Horizon".
"Zach was not asked to resign from whom," the guitarist added. "There are personal and private issues that need to be addressed in all aspects that have been aired happily."
Earlier this month, the WHO announced their farewell tour of North America, expected to drag Starkey. However, the band has found its replacement.
"Scott Devours, who works with Roger Solo, will join us for our final show," Townshun said Sunday. "Please welcome him."
