Little did we know that Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey, 47, is an in-demand drummer – and has been an unofficial member of The Who since 1996. Apparently Ringo hoped his kid would become and doctor or lawyer, but Zak loved the drums and he’s been a working musician all his adult life. He signed autographs for fans with other Who bandmembers outside the Sunset Marquis Hotel.

Voyagers on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship had a big surprise when they walked into the pub and found Roger Daltrey onstage singing, appropriately, “My Generation.” But you don’t have to worry about how the mighty have fallen. (Roger and The Who DID entertain 500,000 fans a Woodstock) Fortunately, the lead singer of The Who is not reduced to entertaining on cruise ships. Daltrey was a passenger on the cruise and he couldn’t resist jumping onstage to sing a few songs just for fun. Still, the cruise ship-generational link is appropriate.
