Zak Starkey's Work with: |
|
When Oasis's drummer Alan White departed in January of 2004, the rumors of Zak Starkey filling the seat began to surface. They would later prove to be true, as far as Zak working with the band on both recordings for there sixth album and playing live in 2004. He went on to tour with the band in 2005 and 2006 for the Don't Believe The Truth tour, and was there for the recording of the bands 7th album "Dig Out Your Soul" due Oct 6th 2008 (1st single due Sept 29th). However, it appears that Zak will NOT be a part of any tour or live appearances with the band any time soon...
