The Who's Pete Townshend said Zak Starkey is 'not being asked to step down' following an announcement they had split with drummer.

The band is back together… but it turns out they were never really apart. After The Who drummer Zak Starkey announced he was exiting the band earlier this week, founding member Pete Townshend took to social media to explain that the group has worked through their issues.

After several days of uncharacteristic public drama, the Who have rehired drummer Zak Starkey, who was let go earlier this week.
