He added, “Feels great to be wed to the woman I have loved for 18 years. “Our dearest friends in da USA- great to see u at our wedding and experience true party stamina.” Thanks to everyone who came from near far wide abstract and online,” he wrote. “Great to be solid with the greatest girl in the world. Starkey also shared the news in a post to his Instagram account. Benett Eddie Vedder was one of Starkey’s best men. The Beatles drummer was there to celebrate his son’s joyful day. British reggae singer Pato Banton officiated the ceremony. Starr, 81, gave his son away, while Pearl Jam singer Vedder, 57, and The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr served as Starkey’s best men. ![]() The pair have been together for 18 years. “After 18 years together, Luna’s umbilical cord kinda tied the knot, but we wanted to make it official and share with our friends and family in the US before doing the same in Jamaica and the UK,” the newlyweds said in a statement to People Thursday. Starkey, 56, and 37-year-old Liguz, who have been dating for nearly two decades, decided to wed on the date of their 1-year-old daughter Luna’s birthday. They married on the date of their daughter’s birth. ![]() The son of Ringo Starr married his longtime partner, Sharna “Sshh” Liguz, in an intimate ceremony Monday at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, with the Beatle and Eddie Vedder among those in attendance. He earned those positions in The Who and Oasis by dint of being an incredible drummer.Zak Starkey tied the knot in front of rock and roll legends. Plus, not as much respect as the guy deserves. And few properly isolated clips of his drumming. So we think it’s a bit unfair there’s little available footage of him around. He remains a drummer in demand!Īnd, in 2020, he also branched out as a guitarist and producer on an album called Got to Be Tough for reggae band Toots and the Maytals.Īlthough born into rock royalty, he’s more than earned his place as a drumming star. ![]() Starkey’s career (at 56) is far from over. He’s toured extensively with the ’60s Mod band and recorded various songs on their albums from around 2005. He left the band in 2009 due to the Gallagher brother’s “commitment issues”.īut he’s still drumming away for The Who. His drumming graced Oasis’ albums Don’t Believe the Truth and Dig Out Your Soul. He has that vital quality the very best drummers need-incredibly agile fingers to get him around a kit at lightning speed. His technical proficiency, perfect timing, and flair make him stand out.Īs you can hear, Starkey’s playing style is characterised by a sharp, driving quality that’s influenced by big-beat, tribal-folk rhythms, and rock. Starkey is an incredible drummer and much more naturally gifted than his father (even though he’s not had the same impact on music as Ringo). But that would also be really unfair to his natural talent. There’s no denying his father’s reputation and global fame opened many doors for Starkey. He also toured with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band fro 1992-1995. Starkey drummed fro various bands in the 1980s, such as the Spencer Davis Group. The young lad taught himself, with help from The Faces drummer Kenney Jones (who was Keith Moon’s immediate replacement after the drummer died in September 1978). Moon apparently discussed drumming with the young Starkey, but didn’t provide any lessons. It was so different and it sounded so alive. Then when I was eight, I discovered The Who’s Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy. I loved all of those ’70s glam bands from England, like Slade and Sweet. That was it for me I wanted to be Marc Bolan. I would spend my days listening to records. You would go into the living room and find stacks and stacks of LPs. When I was very young there was music all around me in my parents’ house. I wanted to play the drums because of Keith. “Keith Moon was my first big influence, definitely. ![]() Young Zak referred to him as Uncle Keith. Moon was famously generous with his money (to the point he thrashed all of it and was often penniless) and he bought an eight year old Starkey his first drum kit. He was befriended and mentored by The Who’s Keith Moon, who was one of Ringo Starr’s closest friends. Zak Starkey was born in 1965 and, as you’d expect, grew up around rock royalty.
