Shocking footage filmed by Metro shows the moment The Who’s lead singer Roger Daltrey kicked off at drummer Zak Starkey just two weeks before he was sacked from the band.

Yesterday, news came that The Who have sacked their drummer Starkey following their Royal Albert Hall gigs, in which Daltrey got visibly frustrated at the former Oasis drummer.

Starkey, 59, who is godson to the late The Who drummer Keith Moon and the son of Sir Ringo Starr, has drummed with the My Generation rockers for 29 years.

At the London gig on March 30 – reviewed by Metro – during hit song Can You See The Real Me, Daltrey stopped singing and guitarist Pete Townshend was forced to fill in for him.

Footage shows Daltrey, 81, holding his head in his hand in exasperation, seemingly refusing to continue.

After they stopped the song, Daltrey said: ‘We’ve got a big problem up here. I can sing to some things, but I can’t sing to that f***ing racket.’
