if I read that right, drummer since ‘96 and just last night was an issue big enough to fire him over? And never knew he was Ringo’s son!!
I read that Keith Moon taught him and gave him his first drum set. And then later on I read that the Who’s second drummer taught him so now I don’t know
30 years in the band, and he was Keith Moon’s second replacement.
Keith Moon was renting the same flat as Cass Elliot of the Mama's & the Papa's, owned by Harry Neilson, where she died 4 years before Keith Moon rented it, and is where he died. Harry was reluctant to rent it to Keith, because Harry believed it was cursed. Townshend disagreed, assuring him that "lightning wouldn't strike the same place twice".
