On This Day, Aug. 23, 1946 …\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Future\u00a0The Who\u00a0<\/strong>drummer\u00a0Keith Moon\u00a0<\/strong>was born in North West London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moon joined the band in 1964 before they recorded their first single and went on to play on eight of The Who\u2019s albums, with his last being 1978\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Who Are You<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout his musical career, he was known for his destructive nature and turned trashing hotel rooms into an art.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u00a0dealt with\u00a0alcohol problems over the years and died in September 1978 from an overdose of a drug that was supposed to prevent alcohol withdrawal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Who\u2019s\u00a0Roger Daltrey\u00a0<\/strong>has been very vocal about his attempts to make a Keith Moon biopic. In February 2023, he revealed that he had finished the script for the movie, but since then no other details about the film have been revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n
