Starkey’s message continues by enumerating the many projects in which he participated in the period in which he played in the Whoho Starting in 1996. Closing his message with these words: “None of this has ever interfered with the Who and it has never been a problem for them. The lie is, or it would have been, that I left the Who, but I did not do it. I love the Who and all those who are part of it.”
