Scott Devours has been appointed as the new drummer for The Who's American tour following the exit of Zak Starkey. Devours expressed sadness over Starkey's departure, acknowledging that many loyal fans might not accept his role. He draws on the band's history when Kenney Jones replaced Keith Moon, hoping fans keep an open mind. With the confirmation that this could be The Who's last performance in the U.S., Devours emphasizes the importance of the band's legacy over personal spotlight during the tour.
I understand and accept the reality that there are many lifelong Who fans who are absolutely gutted by the news that Zak is no longer on the throne behind the Who. As a huge fan myself, there is a part of me that's processing this loss with a heavy heart too.
For others, perhaps the jury is still out. Maybe I'll need to let the music do the talking?
I will be giving them every second of my time, every beat of my heart, and every drop of my sweat and blood. This is my ultimate goal.
This tour isn't about me or anyone other than the Who, which is Pete and Roger.
