Keith Moon's Final Hours To Feature In TV Documentary

The last twenty-four hours of former Who drummer Keith Moon’s life are to be retraced in a new TV documentary.

The Final 24 series, which airs on America’s Biography Channel, will feature recollections from former associates of the drummer.

In the documentary, Dougal Butler, Moon’s long time assistant, recalls the consequences of the drummer’s tireless work ethic.

"The problem that Keith couldn't handle is fame. He was his own worst enemy because he wanted to work all the time,” Butler says.

"He didn't live a normal family life outside of rock and roll, even in his marriages, because he wanted to keep on rocking and rolling every day of his life.

"He thought it was a continuous thing every day - which he tried to do. But in the end, that's what killed him,” he added.

Moon died in September 1978 at the age of 32.
