The drummers and bassists behind many classic bands' rhythm sections have reunited for a charity album.
Zak Starkey, who drummed with Oasis on their final two albums ‘Don’t Belive The Truth’ and ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, has formed the band Sshh with singer Sshh Liguz.
Their album ‘Issues’ sees the rhythm sections of many musicians play together to back the duo as they cover a host of classic songs.
These include Amy Winehouse’s bassist Dale Davis and drummer Nathan Allen play on a cover of ‘Back To Black’, while Starkey’s former Oasis bandmate Gem Archer plays guitar on a cover of The Small Faces’ 1966 song ‘Tin Soldier’, alongside their drummer Kenny Jones and The Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock.
The album's first single 'Problems' is a cover of The Sex Pistols featuring Matlock and Pistols drummer Paul Cook.
‘Issues’, out later this year, also features members of Primal Scream, Marilyn Manson, Blondie, The Pretenders, Mott The Hoople and The Ruts.
Starkey, who now plays with The Who, said he learnt more about playing drums from Jones than anyone else in his career – including his father, The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
Starkey told NME: “Of all the people who’ve taught me drums – Keith Moon, my dad, all of them – Kenney showed me the most. It was just great to play with him. Two Who drummers, past and present, playing at the same time: just one more unprecedented connection in the making of this album.”
Sshh made their live debut at London club The Box this week, watched on by Starr, Klaxons guitarist Jamie Reynolds, Ride guitarist Andy Bell, Adam And The Ants guitarist Marco Pirroni, The Lightning Seeds singer Ian Broudie and producer Youth.
Profits from ‘Issues’ go to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Oasis
Paul McCartney

Sir Paul McCartney has lashed out at Oasis for saying they’d be “bigger” than his band The Beatles in 1996.
The 73-year-old rocker thinks the group made the “biggest mistake” of their career by saying they’d give the ‘Twist and Shout’ hitmakers a run for their money during a controversial interview with MTV over a decade ago.
Speaking to Q magazine, Paul said:”Oasis were young, fresh and writing good tunes. I thought the biggest mistake they made was when they said ‘We’re going to be bigger than The Beatles’.
“I thought ‘So many people have said that, and it’s the kiss of death.’ Be bigger than The Beatles, but don’t say it. The minute you say it, everything you do from then on is going to be looked at in the light of that statement.”
Noel Gallagher – who was joined by brother and arch-enemy Liam Gallagher in the pioneering Britpop band ,which broke up in August 2009 – was slammed with backlash when he made the claim but he has since stated he has no recollection of making the statement and was probably out of his head on drugs at the time.
He previously admitted: “I might have been high when I said that. I think I was.”Paul’s comments come after the ‘Let It Be’ hitmaker admitted he was gripped by depression and “took to the bevvies” and almost walked away from his music career entirely when the iconic four-piece band – which also included John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr – went their separate ways in 1970.
He recently said: “I was depressed at the time, yeah. You would be. You would be too. I was breaking from my lifelong friends, not knowing whether I was going to continue in music. I took to the bevvies. I took to a wee dram. It was great at first, then suddenly I wasn’t having a good time. It wasn’t working. I wanted to get back to square one, so I ended up forming [his band] Wings.”

The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey Teamed Up With Liam Gallagher To Form A Supergroup For A Special Performance On Revived UK TV Show TFI Friday.
Daltrey and Gallagher performed The Who's classic 1965 hit My Generation with The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie, original Oasis member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, and Ringo Starr's drummer son Zak Starkey live on the entertainment show on Friday (12Jun15).
The series, hosted by British DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans, returned for a one-off special with celebrity guests including Rita Ora, rocker Ricky Wilson, and Sir Kenneth Branagh, and performances from acts including Blur and Rudimental.
During the show, host Evans bowed out and enlisted Scottish actor Ewan McGregor to interview fellow Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried, while other guests included British funnyman Stephen Merchant, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and Olympic swimmer Tom Daley. Black Grape rocker Shaun Ryder, whose expletive-ridden appearances on the original show prompted TV bosses to stop the series being broadcast live, made a comeback, and walked on the set with tape over his mouth.
The programme originally ran from 1996 to 2000. After Evans left the show, the sixth and final series of TFI Friday was hosted by guests presenters including Sir Elton John and the Spice Girls.

Liam Gallagher and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey are forming a supergroup for the upcoming TFI Friday comeback episode.
TFI Friday will return for a one-off live special at 9pm next Friday (June 12), hosted by Chris Evans.
A TFI spokesman has confirmed to NME that Gallagher and Daltrey will perform 'My Generation' as part of a supergroup featuring The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie and former Oasis drummer (and Ringo Starr's son) Zak Starkey.
"Liam's got a bit of time on his hands since Beady Eye called it a day last year so he fancied trying his hand at something new," a 'source' also told The Sun. "He's told his mates he's pretty bored. Other than Noel, you would be hard pushed to find a better set of bandmates than Roger, Ian and Zak. It's a proper supergroup and the performance will be something to remember."
The yet-unnamed will be joined by fellow musical guests Blur, Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani, Rudimental and Years & Years. It's not yet known whether the Gallagher-Daltrey-Broudie-Starkey supergroup will play any further shows following the TFI Friday performance.
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has discussed his recent involvement in a charity football match in Italy. Gallagher appeared alongside a number of former Juventus players like Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved at the Juventus Stadium in Torino on Tuesday night (June 2). The match was organised by the Italian equivalent of Soccer Aid.
Speaking about the event, Gallagher has since said: "The invitation to take part came from an old friend of mine Andrea Dulio who used to work for Sony Italy whom I knew throughout the Oasis era."
Gallagher added: "I’ve played a few in my time with the mighty Oasis but never football. I must say I was a little nervous in front of 45,000 crazy Italians... I’m not sure what was said at half time as I was on the piss around that time as I was substituted 20 minutes into the game much to my delight as I was fucked," Gallagher told The Secret Footballer. "I do run most days but I haven’t had a proper kickabout since 1999."

Liam Gallagher is set to hold castings in Los Angeles for a new Beatles film.
The Beady Eye frontman wants Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke to star in the movie and has convinced Michael Winterbottom to direct the film about The Beatles' company Apple Corps and the break-up of the group.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Liam is going to hold castings in the US in April. A lot of the lead roles are American, so he's keen to find the right names.
''He knows he's not going to manage to entice someone like Brad Pitt but he wants high-calibre people who are more on the indie scene of Hollywood. He thinks actors such as Jared and Ethan would be perfect.''
The former Oasis lead singer, who split from his own band in 2009 after a huge fist-fight with brother and bandmate Noel, is the executive producer of The Longest Cocktail Party and is currently looking for someone to fund his movie.
The source said the 41-year-old star aims to follow in the footsteps of late Beatles guitarist George Harrison, whose company HandMade Films produced hit movies 'Monty Python's Life Of Brian' and 'The Long Good Friday'.
The Beatles - also made up of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon - made their first debut on US TV 50 years ago and stars gathered for a special tribute show last month at The Los Angeles Convention Centre.
The group formed in Liverpool in 1960 and split in 1970 after Paul said he was quitting the band.

Rock wildman Liam Gallagher has found an oasis of calm — the Chelsea Flower Show.
He will attend the annual gardening event on the same day as the Queen.
The ex-Oasis frontman, 40, asked for tickets to a VIP preview day of the show, which is celebrating its 100th year.
A source said: “Liam is one of the most unlikely guests in the event’s history.
“His rampaging days are definitely over — which is a relief to organisers given the importance of some guests.”
Liam — set to release a new album with his band Beady Eye — is better known for planting one on photographers, than for planting seeds.
He is not the only pop star due at Monday’s preview, where attractions range from The Sun’s garden to stands selling botanical etchings.
Veterans Rod Stewart and Ringo Starr, plus singer Lily Allen are also due to attend.

Liam Gallagher is a Jekyll and Hyde character – when he’s good, he’s very, very good – and you know the rest.
On Saturday night he was better than good, giving a masterclass in what a rock ’n’ roll frontman should be up to at the weekend.
The Beady Eye star and his bandmates enjoyed a tear-up at This Feeling – the best club night for guitar music in the country.
Liam posed for pictures, spent time with the new bands and was the last man to leave the Queen of Hoxton in East London.
As a treat for the punters who queued to get in he gave guitarist Andy Bell the green light to drop the band’s new single during his DJ set.
From what I hear it raised the roof – promising big things from their forthcoming second album.
The rockers also welcomed a new recruit after some Sky Sports-style transfer day action.
Kasabian guitarist Jay Mehler is taking over bass duties from Jeff Wooton who has gone solo.
With the Leicester lads in album writing mode, they shook hands and wished Jay – above with his girlfriend Lee who is Ringo Star’s daughter – the best of luck for the future.
Mike Jonns, who runs This Feeling, said: “Liam made everyone’s night by shaking every hand in the venue.”
Guitarist Andy and DJ partner Arveene will play This Feeling on March 23 at FAC251 in Manchester.
You never know which rock stars will show up on the guest list...

Noel Gallagher
Paul McCartney
Ringo Starr
The Beatles legend has been swamped with guestlist requests for his gig at London's O2 tonight - and there isn't enough room at the inn.
The famous faces will be out in force, that's Ringo Starr, Madonna, Gary Barlow, Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin, Kate Moss, David and Victoria Beckham, Chris Evans, Dermot O'Leary, David Walliams, Vernon Kay and Tinchy Stryder - not to mention their guests.
Sir Paul's team will have a job keeping the queue at his dressing room door under control with that lot passing by to say well done.
The pop icon told me last week in Cologne, Germany, that 100 tickets normally come his way for big gigs.
But I hear Macca has now reached 600 on his allocation - which includes friends, family, mums from his daughter's school, celebs, musicians and royalty.
A source said: "Macca's gig is the only place to be in town tonight. The O2 will be rammed to the rafters."
In Cologne Macca rolled out Wonderful Christmas Time, his famous festive hit.
Everybody gonna Dance Tonight, as Macca might say.
