Zak Richard Starkey (born 13 September 1965) is an English rock drummer well known for his work with the English rock band The Who, with whom he has performed and recorded since 1994, despite never having been an official member. He is also the third drummer to have appeared with English rock band Oasis. He has also worked with other musicians and bands such as Johnny Marr, Paul Weller, The Icicle Works, The Waterboys, ASAP, The Lightning Seeds and John Entwistle. Starkey is the son of The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey Tigrett, Starr's first wife. ==Early life== Zak Starkey grew up at Sunny Heights at St George's Hill in Surrey and Tittenhurst Park at Sunninghill in Berkshire. At age eight, he became interested in music when The Who's drummer Keith Moon gave him a drum kit. As a result, he knew him as "Uncle Keith". Moon was one of Ringo Starr's closest friends and Zak's godfather, and although they "never sat together at a drum kit", he did discuss drumming with the boy. The drum kit was later sold at Sotheby's for twelve thousand pounds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Channeling Keith and More )〕 At age ten, Zak began teaching himself to play the drums. His father gave him only one lesson, but afterward discouraged his growing interest due to the desire not to see him in the same business. Although Starr has praised his son's abilities, he is said to have stated that he had always regarded him as a future lawyer or doctor. By the age of twelve, Starkey was already performing in pubs and was later a member of a garage band called "The Next".〔 He attended Highgate School until 1981. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zak Starkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
