Zak Starkey announces charity album with Ringo Starr, Elton John, Slash and more

Zak Starkey announced a new charity album alongside his father, Ringo Starrand the stars Elton John, Iggy Pop It is slash. The ex-Beatle’s son, who is a drummer for The Whospoke about the project in a post on social media and also tagged Richard Ashcroftof The Verve, Johnny Marrof The SmithsIt is Chrissie Hyndeof The Pretenders. He stated that the idea came up during Rock in Rio 2017, when The Who It is Armas e Rosas played at the festival.

Around 3pm on the day of the shows, The Who It’s from Armas e Rosas at Rock in Rio, Duff [McKagan] and I went to a local studio and played ‘Children of the Revolution’ by T-Rex. My father did the drums in Los Angeles (while I did the bass), then in Rio, Duff did the bass. A few weeks after the tour, we recorded guitars in New York, with the slash. We sent the track with the vocals of Sshh guiding to Elton [John]who played an incredible piano. Sshh left with Axlwho said he would like to sing. Axl killed it, incredible vocals. He’s mixing the song now, I think (I hope), and we’re going to auction the album to teenagers with cancer, without greedy people wanting 75% (I won’t say which record company, but get out, this is for sick kids). Made by Sshh and me, it’s a complete album, with more than one Beatle, one Smith, one Pretender, one Ashcroftone Iggy and much more… Coming soon.
