Zak Starkey implores Axl Rose for a 2 million dollar Master
Through a shared post on Instagram, Zak Starkey, former WHO drummer and Ringo Starr’s son, addressed a request to the frontman of the Guns n ‘Roses, Axl Rose, imposing him with Return the Master of a registration that, according to him, could contribute to Collect 2 million dollars For the Teenage Cancer Trust. The registration in question is a version of “Children of the Revolution“Of the T. Rex, a project born after Guns N ‘Roses and Who had shared the stage in 2017 in Rock in Rio in Brazil. The trace counts the participation of Axl Rose, as of Slash and Duff McKagan: if it were to be published, in fact, in fact, It would represent the first completely new study material from the GNR from their 2016 reunion – Considering that the four songs officially released subsequently date back to the 2008 “Chinese Democracy” sessions. In addition, to registration Ringo Starr and Elton John also participated.
According to what we read in the long message shared on social media, Starkey claims that Axl – that according to what reported he was mixing the song in April 2024 – has not yet returned the ribbon. In the post it is written:
“Dear Axl Rose, please return the Master of this track. My wife SSHH Liguz and I spent three years to make this tribute to Bolan for the sick boys and without the ‘Children of the Revolution’ master ‘ – that I, my father and SSH we arranged by including a modulated section for the Slash guitar, another for the duff of Duff and a large space for Elton, Before you ask SSH to be able to sing – the project remains stationary.
It is a pity that the disc remained on the shelf, since from Christie’s they suggested that it could generate 2 million dollars for cancer sick boys. Come on, friend ”.
In the comments on his post, Starkey himself also explained to have never had a version of the usable registration Since the session in the studio, and that it is part of an album that would like to give directly in charity, to circumvent subjects who otherwise would treat a percentage of the proceeds. “I have been waiting for the final master for seven years that was sent to me in. .Pe3 format on May 4, 2018,” said the drummer: “But I need a WAV for a disc, not an .mp3. Who is suffering? Not me, not you, not the collaborators. There are other twelve great historical artists who interpret ten songs by Marc. Put everything to the auction as a limited edition, collect a mountain of money for the fight against youth cancer and stop worrying about the bullshit of major marketing plans.
I had organized everything: I already have the cover in a unique original with gold leaf, and a Marc Bolan Gibson Custom Shop guitar signed by all participants, including Axl Rose. All destined for auction. It is a charity disc, not the Constitution“.
Already last year Zak Starkey, always with a message on Instagram, He had spoken of a charity album in which a first -rate cast would have participatedwith included – among other things – the cover of “Children of the Revolution” of the T. Rex with the Guns N ‘Rose. The voices on a tribute album to Marc Bolan and T. Rex engraved by the band of “Welcome to the Jungle” and others, however, have been going over time.
Of the recording of “Children of the Revolution”, Starkey also shared a video extract on social media last Aprilin the period of his constant layoffs and reinstates in the Who, before the final dismissal. Other artists would have participated in the album, including members not yet revealed by the Smiths and the Pretenders, as well as Richard Ashcroft of the verve, Iggy Pop and others.
