While Moon generally said he was only interested in working with the Who , he participated in outside musical projects . In 1966 he worked with Yardbirds guitarist Jeff Beck , pianist Nicky Hopkins and future Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on the instrumental " Beck 's Bolero , " which was the B @-@ side to " Hi Ho Silver Lining " and appeared on the album Truth . Moon also played timpani on another track , a cover of Jerome Kern 's " Ol ' Man River . " He was credited on the album as " You Know Who . "
Moon may have inspired the name for Led Zeppelin . When he briefly considered leaving the Who in 1966 , he spoke with Entwistle and Page about forming a supergroup . Moon ( or Entwistle ) remarked that a particular suggestion had gone down like a " lead zeppelin " ( a play on " lead balloon " ) . Although the supergroup was never formed , Page remembered the phrase and later adapted it as the name of his new band .
The Beatles became friends with Moon , leading to occasional collaborations . In 1967 , he contributed backing vocals to " All You Need Is Love . " On 15 December 1969 , Moon joined John Lennon 's Plastic Ono Band for a live performance at the Lyceum Theatre in London for a UNICEF charity concert . In 1972 the performance was released as a companion disc to Lennon and Ono 's album , Some Time in New York City .
Moon 's friendship with Entwistle led to an appearance on Smash Your Head Against the Wall , Entwistle 's first solo album and the first by a member of the Who . Moon did not play drums on the album ; Jerry Shirley did , with Moon providing percussion . Rolling Stone 's John <unk> appreciated Entwistle 's decision not to let Moon drum , saying that it distanced his album from the familiar sound of the Who .
Moon became involved in solo work when he moved to Los Angeles during the mid @-@ 1970s . In 1974 , Track Records @-@ MCA released a Moon solo single covering the Beach Boys ' " Don 't Worry , Baby " and " Teenage Idol . " The next year he released his only solo album , entitled Two Sides of the Moon . Although it featured Moon on vocals , he played drums on only three tracks ; most of the drumming was left to others ( including Ringo Starr , session musicians Curly Smith and Jim Keltner and actor @-@ musician Miguel Ferrer ) . The album was received poorly by critics . NME 's Roy Carr wrote , " <unk> , if you didn 't have talent , I wouldn 't care ; but you have , which is why I 'm not about to accept Two Sides of the Moon . " Dave Marsh , reviewing the album in Rolling Stone , wrote : " There isn 't any legitimate reason for this album 's existence . " During one of his few televised solo drum performances ( for ABC 's Wide World ) , Moon played a five @-@ minute drum solo dressed as a cat on transparent acrylic drums filled with water and goldfish . When asked by an audience member what would happen to the kit , he joked that " even the best drummers get hungry . " His performance was not appreciated by animal lovers , several of whom called the station with complaints .
= = = = Film = = = =
In the 2007 documentary film , Amazing Journey : The Story of The Who , Daltrey and Townshend reminisced about Moon 's talent for dressing as ( and embodying ) a variety of characters . They remembered his dream of getting out of music and becoming a Hollywood film actor , although Daltrey did not think Moon had the patience and work ethic required by a professional actor . Who manager Bill Curbishley agreed that Moon " wasn 't disciplined enough to actually turn up or commit to doing the stuff . "
Nevertheless , the drummer landed several acting roles . His first was in 1971 , a cameo in Frank Zappa 's 200 Motels as a nun afraid of dying from a drug overdose . Although it only took 13 days to film , fellow cast member Howard Kaylan remembers Moon spending off @-@ camera time at the Kensington Garden Hotel bar instead of sleeping . Moon 's next film role was J.D. Clover , drummer for the fictional Stray Cats at a holiday camp during the early days of British rock ' n ' roll , in 1973 's That 'll Be the Day . He reprised the role for the film 's 1974 sequel , Stardust , and played Uncle Ernie in Ken Russell 's 1975 film adaptation of Tommy . Moon 's last film appearance was in 1978 's <unk> with Starr and Alice Cooper . This was the last film to star Mae West .
= = Destructive behaviour = =
Moon led a destructive lifestyle . During the Who 's early days he began taking amphetamines , and in a New Musical Express interview said his favourite food was " French Blues . " He spent his share of the band 's income quickly , and was a regular at London clubs such as the Speakeasy and the Bag O ' Nails ; the combination of pills and alcohol escalated into alcoholism and drug addiction later in his life . " [ We ] went through the same stages everybody goes through – the bloody drug corridor , " he later reflected . " Drinking suited the group a lot better . "
According to Townshend , Moon began destroying hotel rooms when the Who stayed at the Berlin Hilton on tour in late 1966 . In addition to hotel rooms , Moon destroyed friends ' homes and even his own , throwing furniture from upper @-@ storey windows and setting fire to buildings . Andrew Neill and Matthew Kent estimated that his destruction of hotel toilets and plumbing cost as much as £ 300 @,@ 000 ( $ 500 @,@ 000 ) . These acts , often fuelled by drugs and alcohol , were Moon 's way of demonstrating his eccentricity ; he enjoyed shocking the public with them . Longtime friend and personal assistant Butler observed , " He was trying to make people laugh and be Mr Funny , he wanted people to love him and enjoy him , but he would go so far . Like a train ride you couldn 't stop . "
In a limousine on the way to the airport Moon insisted they return to their hotel , saying " I forgot something . " At the hotel he ran back to his room , grabbed the television and threw it out the window into the swimming pool below . He then jumped back into the limo , saying " I nearly forgot . "
Fletcher argues that The Who 's lengthy break between the end of their 1972 European tour and the beginning of the Quadrophenia sessions devastated Moon 's health , as without the rigours of lengthy shows and regular touring that had previously kept him in shape , his hard @-@ partying lifestyle took a greater toll on his body . He did not keep a drum kit or practice at Tara , and began to deteriorate physically as a result of his lifestyle . Around the same time he became a severe alcoholic , starting the day with drinks and changing from the " lovable boozer " he presented himself as to a " boorish drunk " . David Puttnam recalled , " The drinking went from being a joke to being a problem . On That 'll Be the Day it was social drinking . By the time Stardust came round it was hard drinking . "
= = = Exploding toilets = = =
Moon 's favourite stunt was to flush powerful explosives down toilets . According to Fletcher , Moon 's toilet pyrotechnics began in 1965 when he purchased a case of 500 cherry bombs . He moved from cherry bombs to M @-@ 80 fireworks to sticks of dynamite , which became his explosive of choice . " All that porcelain flying through the air was quite unforgettable , " Moon remembered . " I never realised dynamite was so powerful . I 'd been used to penny bangers before . " He quickly developed a reputation for destroying bathrooms and blowing up toilets . The destruction mesmerised him , and enhanced his public image as rock 's premier hell @-@ raiser . Tony Fletcher wrote that " no toilet in a hotel or changing room was safe " until Moon had exhausted his supply of explosives .
Pete Townshend walked into the bathroom of Moon 's hotel room and noticed the toilet had disappeared , with only the S @-@ bend remaining . The drummer explained that since a cherry bomb was about to explode , he had thrown it down the loo and showed Townshend the case of cherry bombs . " And of course from that moment on , " the guitarist remembered , " we got thrown out of every hotel we ever stayed in . "
Entwistle recalled being close to Moon on tour : " I suppose we were two of a kind " ... We shared a room on the road and got up to no good . " Consequently , both were often involved in blowing up toilets . In a 1981 Los Angeles Times interview he admitted , " A lot of times when Keith was blowing up toilets I was standing behind him with the matches . " In Alabama , Moon and Entwistle loaded a toilet with cherry bombs after being denied room service . According to Entwistle , " That toilet was just dust all over the walls by the time we checked out . The management brought our suitcases down to the gig and said : ' Don 't come back ... ' "
A hotel manager called Moon in his room and asked him to lower the volume on his cassette recorder because it made " too much noise . " In response the drummer asked him up to his room , excused himself to go the bathroom , put a lit stick of dynamite in the toilet and shut the bathroom door . Upon returning , he asked the manager to stay for a moment , as he wanted to explain something . Following the explosion , Moon turned the recorder back on and said , " That , dear boy , was noise . This is the ' Oo . "
= = = Flint Holiday Inn incident = = =
On 23 August 1967 , on tour opening for Herman 's Hermits , Moon celebrated what he said was his 21st birthday ( although it was thought at the time to be his 20th ) at a Holiday Inn in Flint , Michigan . Entwistle later said , " He decided that if it was a publicised fact that it was his 21st birthday , he would be able to drink . "
The drummer immediately began drinking upon his arrival in Flint . The Who spent the afternoon visiting local radio stations with Nancy Lewis ( then the band 's publicist ) , and Moon posed for a photo outside the hotel in front of a " Happy Birthday Keith " sign put up by the hotel management . According to Lewis , Moon was drunk by the time the band went onstage at the Atwood High School football stadium .
Returning to the hotel , Moon started a food fight and soon cake began flying through the air . The drummer knocked out part of his front tooth ; at the hospital , doctors could not give him an anaesthetic ( due to his inebriation ) before removing the remainder of the tooth . Back at the hotel a mêlée erupted ; fire extinguishers were set off , guests ( and objects ) thrown into the swimming pool and a piano reportedly destroyed . The chaos ended only when police arrived with guns drawn .
A furious Holiday Inn management presented the groups with a bill for $ 24 @,@ 000 , which was reportedly settled by Herman 's Hermits tour manager Edd McCann . Townshend claimed that the Who were banned for life from all of the hotel 's properties , but Fletcher wrote that they stayed at a Holiday Inn in Rochester , New York a week later . He also disputed a widely held belief that Moon drove a Lincoln Continental into the hotel 's swimming pool , as claimed by the drummer in a 1972 Rolling Stone interview .
= = = Passing out on stage = = =
Moon 's lifestyle began to undermine his health and reliability . During the 1973 Quadrophenia tour , at the Who 's debut US date at the Cow Palace in Daly City , California , Moon ingested a mixture of tranquillisers and brandy . During the concert , Moon passed out on his drum kit during " Won 't Get Fooled Again . " The band stopped playing , and a group of roadies carried Moon offstage . They gave him a shower and an injection of cortisone , sending him back onstage after a thirty @-@ minute delay . Moon passed out again during " Magic Bus , " and was again removed from the stage . The band continued without him for several songs before Townshend asked , " Can anyone play the drums ? – I mean somebody good ? " A drummer in the audience , Scot Halpin , came up and played the rest of the show .
During the opening date of the band 's March 1976 US tour at the Boston Garden , Moon passed out over his drum kit after two numbers and the show was rescheduled . The next evening Moon systematically destroyed everything in his hotel room , cut himself doing so and passed out . He was discovered by manager Bill Curbishley , who took him to a hospital , telling him " I 'm gonna get the doctor to get you nice and fit , so you 're back within two days . Because I want to break your fucking jaw ... You have fucked this band around so many times and I 'm not having it any more . " Doctors told Curbishley that if he had not intervened , Moon would have bled to death . Marsh suggested that at this point Daltrey and Entwistle seriously considered firing Moon , but decided that doing so would make his life worse .
During the band 's recording sabbatical from 1975 to 1978 , Moon gained a considerable amount of weight . Entwistle has said that Moon and the Who reached their live peak in 1975 – 76 . At the end of the 1976 US tour in Miami that August , the drummer , delirious , was treated in Hollywood Memorial Hospital for eight days . The group was concerned that he would be unable to complete the last leg of the tour , which ended at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on 21 October ( Moon 's last public show ) . By the time of the Who 's invitation @-@ only show at the Kilburn Gaumont in December 1977 for The Kids are Alright , Moon was visibly overweight and had difficulty sustaining a solid performance . After recording Who Are You , Townshend refused to follow the album with a tour until Moon stopped drinking , and said that if Moon 's playing did not improve he would be fired . Daltrey later denied threatening to fire him , but said that by this time the drummer was out of control .
= = = Financial problems = = =
Because the Who 's early stage act relied on smashing instruments , and owing to Moon 's enthusiasm for damaging hotels , the group were in debt for much of the 1960s ; Entwistle estimated they lost about £ 150 @,@ 000 . Even when the group became relatively financially stable after Tommy , Moon continued to rack up debts . He bought a number of cars and gadgets , and flirted with bankruptcy . Moon 's recklessness with money reduced his profit from the group 's 1975 UK tour to £ 47 @.@ 35 .

= = = <unk> = = =
Before the 1998 release of Tony Fletcher 's Dear Boy : The Life of Keith Moon , Moon 's date of birth was presumed to be 23 August 1947 . This erroneous date appeared in several otherwise @-@ reliable sources , including the Townshend @-@ authorised biography Before I Get Old : The Story of The Who . The incorrect date had been supplied by Moon in interviews before it was corrected by Fletcher to 1946 .
= = = Kim Kerrigan = = =
Moon 's first serious relationship was with Kim Kerrigan , whom he started dating in January 1965 after she saw the Who play at the Disc A Go Go in Bournemouth . By the end of the year , she discovered she was pregnant ; her parents , who were furious , met with the Moons to discuss their options and she moved into the Moon family home in Wembley . They were married on 17 March 1966 at Brent Registry Office , and their daughter Amanda was born on 12 July . The marriage ( and child ) were kept secret from the press until May 1968 . Moon was occasionally violent towards Kim : " if we went out after I had Mandy , " she later said , " if someone talked to me , he 'd lose it . We 'd go home and he 'd start a fight with me . " He loved Amanda , but his absences due to touring and fondness for practical jokes made their relationship uneasy when she was very young . " He had no idea how to be a father , " Kim said . " He was too much of a child himself . "
From 1971 to 1975 Moon owned Tara , a home in Chertsey where he initially lived with his wife and daughter . The Moons entertained extravagantly at home , and owned a number of cars . Jack <unk> , then working for Track Records ( The Who 's label ) , recalls Moon ordering him to purchase a milk float to store in the garage at Tara .
In 1973 Kim , convinced that neither she nor anyone else could moderate Keith 's behaviour , left her husband and took Amanda ; she sued for divorce in 1975 and later married Faces keyboard player Ian McLagan . Marsh believes that Moon never truly recovered from the loss of his family . Butler agrees ; despite his relationship with Annette Walter @-@ Lax , he believes that Kim was the only woman Moon loved . McLagan commented that Moon " couldn 't handle it . " Moon would harass them with phone calls , and on one occasion before Kim sued for divorce , he invited McLagan for a drink at a Richmond pub and sent several " heavies " to break into McLagan 's home on Fife Road and look for Kim , forcing her to hide in a walk @-@ in closet . She died in a car accident in Austin , Texas on 2 August 2006 .
= = = Annette Walter @-@ Lax = = =
In 1975 Moon began a relationship with Swedish model Annette Walter @-@ Lax , who later said that Moon was " so sweet when he was sober , that I was just living with him in the hope that he would kick all this craziness . " She begged Malibu neighbour Larry Hagman to check Moon into a clinic to dry out ( as he had attempted to do before ) , but when doctors recorded Moon 's chemical intake at breakfast – a bottle of champagne , Courvoisier and amphetamines – they concluded that there was no hope for his rehabilitation .
= = = Friends = = =
Moon enjoyed being the life of the party . Bill Curbishley remembered that " he wouldn 't walk into any room and just listen . He was an attention seeker and he had to have it . "
Early in the Who 's career , Moon got to know the Beatles . He would join them at clubs , forming a particularly close friendship with Ringo Starr . Moon later became friends with Bonzo Dog Doo @-@ Dah Band members Vivian Stanshall and " Legs " Larry Smith , and the trio would drink and play practical jokes together . Smith remembers one occasion where he and Moon tore apart a pair of trousers , with an accomplice later looking for one @-@ legged trousers . In the early 1970s Moon helped Stanshall with his " Radio Flashes " radio show for BBC Radio 1 , filling in for the vacationing John Peel ( see Rawlinson End Radio Flashes ) . Subsequently , in 1973 , Moon himself filled in for John Peel in " A Touch of the Moon , " a series of four programmes produced by John Walters .
Guitarist Joe Walsh enjoyed socialising with Moon . In an interview with Guitar World magazine , he recalled that the drummer " taught me how to break things . " In 1974 , Moon struck up a friendship with actor Oliver Reed while working on the film version of Tommy . Although Reed matched Moon drink for drink , he appeared on set the next morning ready to perform ; Moon , on the other hand , would cost several hours of filming time . Reed later said that Moon " showed me the way to insanity . "
= = = Dougal Butler = = =
Peter " Dougal " Butler began working for the Who in 1967 , becoming Moon 's personal assistant the following year to help him stay out of trouble . He remembers managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp saying , " We trust you with Keith but if you ever want any time off , for a holiday or some sort of rest , let us know and we 'll pay for it . " Butler never took them up on the offer .
He followed Moon when the drummer relocated to Los Angeles , but felt that the drug culture prevalent at the time was bad for Moon : " My job was to have eyes in the back of my head . " Townshend agreed , saying that by 1975 Butler had " no influence over him whatsoever . " Although he was a loyal companion to Moon , the lifestyle eventually became too much for him ; he phoned Curbishley , saying that they needed to move back to England or one of them might die . Butler quit in 1978 , and later wrote of his experiences in a book entitled Full Moon : The Amazing Rock and Roll Life of Keith Moon ( 2012 ) .
= = = Neil Boland = = =
On 4 January 1970 Moon accidentally killed his friend , driver and bodyguard , Neil Boland , outside the Red Lion pub in Hatfield , Hertfordshire . Pub patrons had begun to attack his Bentley and Moon , drunk , began driving to escape them . During the fracas , he hit Boland . After an investigation , the coroner ruled Boland 's death an accident and Moon received an absolute discharge after being charged with a number of offences .
Those close to Moon said that he was haunted by Boland 's death for the rest of his life . According to Pamela Des Barres , Moon had nightmares ( which woke them both ) about the incident and said he had no right to be alive .
= = Death = =
In mid @-@ 1978 Moon moved into a flat in Curzon Place ( later Curzon Square ) , Shepherd Market , Mayfair , London , renting from Harry Nilsson . Cass Elliot had died there four years earlier , at the age of 32 ; Nilsson was concerned about letting the flat to Moon , believing it was cursed . Townshend disagreed , assuring him that " lightning wouldn 't strike the same place twice " .
After moving in , Moon began a prescribed course of <unk> ( clomethiazole , a sedative ) to alleviate his alcohol withdrawal symptoms . He wanted to get sober , but due to his fear of psychiatric hospitals he wanted to do it at home . <unk> is discouraged for unsupervised detoxification because of its addictive potential , its tendency to induce tolerance , and its risk of death when mixed with alcohol . The pills were prescribed by Geoffrey Dymond , a physician who was unaware of Moon 's lifestyle . Dymond prescribed a bottle of 100 pills , instructing him to take one pill when he felt a craving for alcohol but not more than three pills per day .
By September 1978 Moon was having difficulty playing the drums , according to roadie Dave " Cy " Langston . After seeing Moon in the studio trying to overdub drums for The Kids Are Alright , he said , " After two or three hours , he got more and more sluggish , he could barely hold a drum stick . "
On 6 September Moon and Walter @-@ Lax were guests of Paul and Linda McCartney at a preview of the film , The Buddy Holly Story . After dining with the McCartneys at Peppermint Park in Covent Garden , Moon and Walter @-@ Lax returned to their flat . He watched a film ( The Abominable Dr. <unk> ) , and asked Walter @-@ Lax to cook him steak and eggs . When she objected , Moon replied " If you don 't like it , you can fuck off ! " These were his last words . Moon then took 32 clomethiazole tablets . When Walter @-@ Lax checked on him the following afternoon , she discovered he was dead .
Curbishley phoned the flat at around 5 pm looking for Moon , and Dymond gave him the news . Curbishley told Townshend , who informed the rest of the band . Entwistle was giving an interview to French journalists when he was interrupted by a phone call with the news of Moon 's death . Trying to tactfully and quickly end the interview , he broke down and wept when the journalist asked him about the Who 's future plans .
Moon 's death came shortly after the release of Who Are You . On the album cover , he is straddling a chair to hide his weight gain ; the words " Not to be taken away " are on the back of the chair .
Police determined that there were 32 clomethiazole pills in Moon 's system . Six were digested , sufficient to cause his death ; the other 26 were undigested when he died . Max <unk> , an authority on alcoholism , wrote in The Sunday Times that Moon should never have been given the drug . Moon was cremated on 13 September 1978 at Golders Green Crematorium in London , and his ashes were scattered in its Gardens of Remembrance .
Townshend convinced Daltrey and Entwistle to carry on touring as The Who , although he later said that it was his means of coping with Moon 's death and " completely irrational , bordering on insane " . AllMusic 's Bruce Eder said , " When Keith Moon died , the Who carried on and were far more competent and reliable musically , but that wasn 't what sold rock records . " In November 1978 , Faces drummer Kenney Jones joined the Who . Townshend later said that Jones " was one of the few British drummers who could fill Keith 's shoes " ; Daltrey was less enthusiastic , saying that Jones " wasn 't the right style " . Keyboardist John " Rabbit " Bundrick , who had rehearsed with Moon earlier in the year , joined the live band as an unofficial member .
Jones left the Who in 1988 , and drummer Simon Phillips ( who praised Moon 's ability to drum over the backing track of " Baba O 'Riley " ) toured with the band the following year . Since 1994 , the Who 's drummer has been Ringo Starr 's son Zak Starkey , who had been given a drum kit by Moon ( whom he called " Uncle Keith " ) .
The London 2012 Summer Olympic Committee contacted Curbishley about Moon performing at the games , 34 years after his death . In an interview with The Times Curbishley quipped , " I emailed back saying Keith now resides in Golders Green crematorium , having lived up to the Who 's anthemic line ' I hope I die before I get old ' ... If they have a round table , some glasses and candles , we might contact him . "
= = Legacy = =
Moon 's drumming has been praised by critics . Author Nick <unk> described him as " the greatest drummer in rock , " adding that " he was to the drums what Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar . " Holly George @-@ Warren , editor and author of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame : The First 25 Years , said : " With the death of Keith Moon in 1978 , rock arguably lost its single greatest drummer . " According to Eder , " Moon , with his manic , lunatic side , and his life of excessive drinking , partying , and other indulgences , probably represented the youthful , zany side of rock & roll , as well as its self @-@ destructive side , better than anyone else on the planet . " The New Book of Rock Lists ranked Moon No. 1 on its list of " 50 Greatest Rock ' n ' Roll Drummers , " and he was ranked No. 2 on the 2011 Rolling Stone " Best Drummers of All Time " readers ' poll . In 2016 , the same magazine ranked him No. 2 in their list of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time , behind John Bonham . Adam <unk> , editor of Drummer magazine , said that Moon 's performances on Who 's Next and Quadrophenia " represent a perfect balance of technique and passion " and " there 's been no drummer who 's touched his unique slant on rock and rhythm since . "
Several rock drummers , including Neil Peart and Dave Grohl , have cited Moon as an influence . The Jam paid homage to Moon on the second single from their third album , " Down in the Tube Station at Midnight " ; the B @-@ side of the single is a Who cover ( " So Sad About Us " ) , and the back cover of the record has a photo of Moon 's face . The Jam 's single was released about a month after Moon 's death . Animal , one of puppeteer Jim Henson 's Muppet characters , may have been based on Keith Moon due to their similar hair , eyebrows , personality and drumming style .
" God bless his beautiful heart ... " Ozzy Osbourne told Sounds a month after the drummer 's death . " People will be talking about Keith Moon ' til they die , man . Someone somewhere will say , ' Remember Keith Moon ? ' Who will remember Joe <unk> who got killed in a car crash ? No one . He 's dead , so what ? He didn 't do anything to talk of . "
Clem Burke of Blondie has said " Early on all I cared about was Keith Moon and the Who . When I was about eleven or twelve , my favourite part of drum lessons was the last ten minutes , when I 'd get to sit at the <unk> and play along to my favourite record . I 'd bring in ' My Generation ' . At the end of the song , the drums go nuts . ' My Generation ' was a turning point for me because before that it was all the Charlie Watts and Ringo type of thing . "
In 1998 Tony Fletcher published a biography of Moon , Dear Boy : The Life of Keith Moon , in the United Kingdom . The phrase " Dear Boy " became a catchphrase of Moon 's when , influenced by Kit Lambert , he began affecting a pompous English accent . In 2000 , the book was released in the US as Moon ( The Life and Death of a Rock Legend ) . Q Magazine called the book " horrific and terrific reading , " and Record Collector said it was " one of rock 's great biographies . "
In 2008 , English Heritage declined an application for Moon to be awarded a blue plaque . Speaking to The Guardian , Christopher <unk> said they " decided that bad behaviour and overdosing on various substances wasn 't a sufficient qualification . " The UK 's Heritage Foundation disagreed with the decision , presenting a plaque which was unveiled on 9 March 2009 . Daltrey , Townshend , Robin Gibb and Moon 's mother Kit were present at the ceremony .
