A few months ago it appeared as though keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick was upset with his fellow bandmates. I wrote about it here. It appears that the whole thing was a misunderstanding as Bundrick probably posted an angry blog thinking that The Who were touring Tommy without him when he wasn't notified that it was Roger Daltrey and his solo band. Bundrick seems to be keeping busy until hopefully a tour in 2012. His website is here.

John Bundrick Out of The Who?
When Keith Moon died in 1978, The Who brought in Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones and keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick. Jones was later replaced with Zak Starkey and now it appears as though Bundrick's days with the band are over. Bundrick wrote a blog post here on his website (that has since been deleted), which has fueled speculation that he will no longer work with The Who.
"How do I feel?…….Imagine spending your entire Adult Life at a job, and then find out you’ve been tossed away like a used bubble gum wrapper. It f******(censored by Who Zeppelin) hurts!"
The rumor is that The Who were going to tour Quadrophenia in 2011 but Roger Daltrey wanted to use members of his solo band - Jon Button (bass), Loren Gold (keyboardist) and Scott Devours (drums) - instead of Pino Palladino, John Bundrick and Zak Starkey to join himself, Pete and Simon Townshend.
Pete Townshend nixed the idea.
The manager of The Who's website wouldn't comment either way on Bundrick's status on the site's forum.
"Rabbit" Bundrick has been with the band since '78, except for missing the 1982 tour where he was replaced by Tim Gorman (known for his work with Duane Eddy). Other than The Who, Bundrick is noted for playing with Free and he also played on Johnny Nash's hit song, "I Can See Clearly Now."
So far there hasn't been any word from Zak Starkey or Pino Palladino.
