Taped celeb drummer? (5)
I believe the answer is:
starr
'drummer?' is the definition.
(I know that Starr is a drummer)
'taped celeb' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'celeb' could be 'star' (I've seen this before) and 'star' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starr that I've seen before include "Freddie . . . . . Ate My Hamster" , "Ringo - (The Beatles)" , "rush up north" , "Ringo --, drummer" , "English rock star and drummer, b. 1940" .)
