Zak Starkey, the 59-year-old son of the Beatles’ Ringo Starr, had to cancel his band’s show in London on Tuesday night (January 21) after the drummer suffered a blood clot in his leg.

In addition to playing with The Who, Starkey is currently the drummer in Mantra of the Cosmos, which features Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder and percussionist Mark “Bez” Berry, along with former Oasis guitarist Andy Bell.

Ryder was recently asked if Starkey – who played with Oasis in the past – would be taking part in their upcoming reunion tour, responding, “You gotta ask him that. We sort of know…” (The Independent)
