Organizers of the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony recently asked the manager of the band The Who if Keith Moon, the legendary drummer, would perform at the London Games. The one issue with the request is that Moon died thirty-four years ago. Bill Curbishly stated that he responded to the request by saying that Moon resides at the Golders Green crematorium, but if the organizers had a round table, some glasses, and candles that perhaps they could contact him and ask him to play during the opening. The surviving members of The Who are expected to play some role during the Olympic festivities.
