Keith Richards is 5ft 8.5in tall.
Keith Richards is 5'9" (175 cm)
Keith Moon was one of the great drummers of the British Invasion of the 1960s/70s. His frenetic style of playing, including a complete disregard for his drum kit, was spectacular to watch. He added a tremendous amount of "punch" to The Who songs far and above simply keeping rhythm. He was also one hell of showman. His nearly acrobatic style of playing influenced a great number of drummers from the 1970s to present. Besides, it was great fun watching him trash is drums at the end of set. His name was also really cool!
Go hit YouTube and look for pre-1976 The Who videos to see Keith Moon in action.
UK actor Sir Roger Moore was 89 years old when he died on May 23, 2017 (birthdate: October 14, 1927).
According to various sources our favorite Bassist from The Who was found dead in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Later on the public was told he died of a Heart Attack. (This seems very unlikely since John Entwistle was always so serious up on the stage.)
John Entwistle passed away on June 27, 2002, the morning before The Who were to begin their tour. The official cause is listed as heart failure (he had an already existing condition) due to cocaine use, although the amount he used is not known.
Roger Daltrey, currently 65, is on his tour "Use It Or Lose It". He is still partaking in tours with Pete Townshend and The Who. You can go to thewho.com to find out more about his tour and where he will be!
Overdose of anti seizure medication prescribed for his alcoholism by a doctor who did not realize that his patient was "Moon the Loon", famous for his excessive lifestyle. The numbers of pills found in his bloodstream correspond to his age, but that may of course be as coincidental as the ominous text on the chair he bestraddled on the cover of the last album he lent his amazing percussive talent to, "Who Are You?" - it reads: NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY. Pete Townshend suggested that Moon's death may have been his ultimate way of cocking a snook at the world in the nihilistic spirit that formed the other side of the moon. He will be remembered for having lived rock 'n' roll in addition to having played it so brilliantly. His outstanding talent for music and his delightful sense of humor indicate he may have been a savant (as suggested by Roger Daltrey), for he excelled only in those two areas while miserably failing in all other respects.
Did Keith Moon kill his driver?
Yes:
(from wikipedia)
On 4 January 1970, Moon was involved in a car-pedestrian death outside the Red Lion pub in Hatfield,_Hertfordshire. Trying to escape hostile patrons from the pub who had begun to attack his Bentley, Moon, drunk, attempted to take control of his car, which in the melee, ran over and killed his friend, driver, and Bodyguard, Neil Boland
How old was John Entwistle at death?
Sadly, John Entwistle died in 2002 at a Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Some believe he died of a heart attack. (Which doesn't seem likely since he was always so serious on stage..)
Also: John Entwistle, on the night of his death, had gone to bed with a stripper who had awoken in the middle of the night to find him cold and unresponsive. Turns out that John had been doing cocaine throughout his adult life. Just this once the cocaine had reacted to his already bad heart condition and it had proven fatal. Poor John died on June 27th, 2002.
Kenney Jones is 66 years old (birthdate: September 16, 1948).

Why did John entwistle go by John Allison?
Allison was the name of one of his girlfriends, although since John went through a lot of girls, he soon stopped using it as a stage name. Pete Townshend thought 'Entwistle' was a weird surname, but eventually helped persuade John to use use his own name.
Yes, among other things, he is known for his drug problem. He also planned on setting up Drug Rehabilitation Centers, but that never came to pass.
Did Roger Daltrey ever fist fight Jimi Hendrix?
I haven'y been able to find a referance to any incident between Roger and Jimi, however at the Monteray Pop Festival, Pete towsend had words with Jimi over who would play last. The argument was about the destruction of guitars; ie... who would do it first and who would be a copycat. Jimi went last and set his on fire and thus still upstageibg The Who. I heard today that thatperformance will be released on DVD in it's entirety on the seventeenth of Oct.
No. I'm going to say no. There's nothing that indicates that John Entwistle was Jewish. There's nothing on the internet about and of his religion or ethnicity at all, currently. On a lighter note he played the Jew's harp? :))
How much does roger daltrey weigh?
Most sources say 5'7", though I've seen 5'6" as well.
He looks pretty tall (especially in Ken Russell's "Tommy"), but his heels are high ... (Substitute)
