Keith Moon

Keith Moon was the drummer for the Who, a British rock band, from 1964 until his death in 1978.

Known for his chaotic, explosive style and onstage theatrics—including destroying his drum kit—he became the archetype of rock excess, equally famous for hotel-room destruction, substance abuse, and manic energy as for his musical innovation.
