Keith Moon Biopic On Track To Begin Filming This Summer

After years of delays, the long-awaited Keith Moon biopic is finally set to begin filming in June, according to Variety. Moon's surviving Who bandmates and manager Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend will serve as executive producers, with the film being directed by Paul Whittington -- best known for his work on The Crown and White House Farm.
The Real Me was written by British screenwriter Jeff Pope, who was nominated for an Oscar for his script for the 2013 film, Philomena. The Who's longtime manager Bill Curbishley is among the film's producers with the L.A.-based White Horse Pictures serving as the movie's production house. No release date has been announced.
Roger Daltrey has been spearheading the Moon biopic for decades. He explained to us that it's a daunting task taking such a larger-than-life figure such as the Who drummer and squeezing it onto the screen: "It's a very difficult project because I don't want anything in it that people expect. Well, there's a few things, but I want to tell people about the real Moon, not just the bits and pieces they know. And it's very, very difficult to get it into a, an hour-and-45-minute narrative. It's not easy."
Keith Moon's longtime assistant and confidant Dougal Butler told us that when off the road Moon would spiral out of control: "The problem that Keith couldn't handle, is fame. He was his own worst enemy because he wanted to work all the time. He didn't live a normal family life outside of rock n' roll, even in his marriages, because he wanted to keep on rocking and rolling every day of his life. He thought it was a continuous thing every day -- which he tried to do. But in the end, that's what killed him."

Peter Gabriel Talks About Watching Final Genesis Gig

Last year, fans were both excited and disapointed that although Peter Gabriel was in the audience for the final Genesis concert -- he held off from joining his former-bandmates onstage. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the band's last gig, held on March 26th, 2022 at London's O2 Arena.
During a chat with Uncut to promote his upcoming album, titled I/O, Gabriel was asked about watching the gig in the audience: "Ultimately, there were human relationships underneath. With Tony (Banks) and Mike (Rutherford), these were people I was at school with, when I was 13-years-old. There's a lot of history there. It was lovely to see Phil (Collins) again, even though he wasn't as strong as I remember him. But it brought back a lot of memories. I was very glad I was there. I had been there at the beginning, so I should be there at the end."
He went on to say, "I don't see them very often, but I enjoy my relationships with those guys. I love the freedom of being able to do what I want, when I want, how I want. That's fine to give up on a particular project, but as a state of living, I don't want to be having arguments again."
Peter Gabriel passed on attending Genesis' 2010 induction due to being in the middle of rehearsals for an upcoming tour. At the time we caught up with Tony Banks and asked him if the band felt slighted that Gabriel wouldn't be accepting the honor alongside the rest of Genesis: "He rang up and said, 'Look, y'know everyone's going to say I'm trying to snub you . . . and all the rest of it,' I said, 'Well, you just tell them we didn't want you to come, so we're snubbing you, y'know?' No -- it's none of those things at all. I mean, it would've been lovely if he could've come, but I understand his problems. It is very difficult, he's right in the middle of something and (if) he takes a day out, and the flying and everything involved, and his voice and he's supposed to be doing stuff. . . I mean, it's a fair-enough thing but it would've been nice for him to come because this is for the group through all its periods, y'know rather than just being just the latter part. Then, obviously Peter's a vital part of that, and he should be there."
