Keith Moon is remembered as the world’s most outrageous rock drummer - a star
as famous for his drink and drug-fuelled pranks as for his innovative playing.
‘Moon the Loon’ took to the rock lifestyle like a duck to water - in the early days of
the band he developed an amphetamine habit, and throughout his career booze
was his most constant companion.
His behaviour was as excessive as his intake, and his non-stop destructive
publicity stunts ensured him a public profile higher than any previous
rock drummer.

Unpublished.
On September 6, 1978 Moon attended a
party thrown by Paul McCartney in honour
of the movie “The Buddy Holly Story”.
It would be his last night out.
Sometime in the late afternoon of Sept 7,
1978, Keith John Moon died in flat 9,
12 Curzon Place, London. Ironically, it was
the same flat that Mama Cass died in years
before.
