The Zak and Oasis rumor actually has been bandied about since January of this year -- with denials aplenty at the time from Gallagher and Weller.  Finally, in September, Gallagher admitted that Zak will join them in the Studio for a few songs.  There so far seems be no reference of Pa Starkey, so I'm suspect that the Ringo part of the rumor is a product of grapevine extensions.

Zak Starkey joins Oasis

Oasis officially has a new drummer.

Though Zak Starkey has been playing with the band since the departure of Alan White in 2004, he has finally been asked to become a permanent member of the band.

White had been drummer for the Britpop band since 1995. He left quietly and without any of the scuffles usually associated with the Gallagher brothers.

In the past Starkey has played drums for Icicle Works, the Waterboys, ASAP, and The Who. He got his first drum set at eight years old, from his father Richard Starkey who played drums for a Liverpool band called the Beatles.

Clearly forging a career for himself in his father Ringo’s shadow, Zak can’t fully commit to Oasis because he is due to play with the Who during their upcoming tour. Luckily that tour begins after Oasis wraps up their current stint on the road.
