OASIS and The Who session drummer Zak Starkey has admitted he was banned from renting out a fancy mansion after the owners found out he was planning to throw a huge birthday party there.
The 58-year-old musician, son of Beatles icon Ringo Starr, tried to buy a chic Victorian mansion to celebrate his wife Sharna Liguz’s 40th birthday

Zak attempted to book the six-bedroom house, supposedly located in Cadmore End in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire, for three nights via AirBnb.
However, when he inspected the house before agreeing to rent it, a conversation with the cleaning staff proved fatal.
He told The Mirror: “The Airbnb hosts cancelled after Googling me and watching Oasis and The Who – the two worst behaved bands in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.”
“It would look great on a t-shirt.”
However, the owners denied his claims and told the website that parties were not allowed under AirBnB rules, so the website cancelled the booking.
Among the celebrities on the guest list for the party were Liam Gallagher and Johnny Marr, both of whom have freely available stories of their party days on the Internet.
Fortunately, the group was able to find another venue at the last minute so the party could be saved and Sharna could be properly celebrated.
Zak has been married to Sharna since 2022 after 18 years of relationship. The couple married at the Sunset Marquis Hotel with Ringo among the guests.
The drummer has followed in his father’s footsteps in the music industry and has joined some of the most prestigious rock groups in British history throughout his career.
At the age of six, he received his first drum kit from The Who frontman Keith Moon, and decades later he became a member of the band, joining them for their Quadrophenia tour in 1996.
Zak was also a founding member of Johnny Marr and The Healers and has also performed with The Lightning Seeds.
In 2004 he joined Oasis and recorded their albums “Don’t Believe The Truth” (2006) and “Dig Out Your Soul” (2008) before leaving the band after a falling out with Liam Gallagher.
Since then, he has been a session musician for a number of bands and in 2016 founded his own record label, Trojan Jamaica, to promote music inspired by the Caribbean island as well as soul and blues from America.
