Yeah - most misleading headline of the day award. I was totally expecting a story about those two fighting each other. (“Your dad totally ripped off my grandpa’s band” …“It was a HOMAGE, you dick” etc.)

If only…
I was confused because Zack Starkey had played drums with Oasis for some time. I thought maybe there was a falling out similar to @Shuck’s R&J narrative?
Privileged offspring, indeed.
