So an obvious option would be to recruit Animal from the Muppets, the closest living embodiment of Moon’s erratic character. Or maybe the chilled-out Little Drummer Bro from the Fray’s weird lullaby national anthem. Or if they’re looking for a drummer with prior Olympic experience, China’s got an army of 2,000 of them who’ve just been collecting dust in storage.
But we'd probably steer clear of the notoriously anti-establishment Sex Pistols. Oh wait, they asked them too.
But to whomever they reach out to as Moon’s replacement, they should ask for a lot of money. Dwyane Wade thinks you deserve it.
